I think that applies to most cables, BTW. Always look in thrift stores first if you can afford to spend some of your time in exchange for reducing ewaste! (In Japan you're guaranteed to find boxes full of old and some new VGA cables at any Hard Off store.) If you don't have time but don't mind some time lag, you can buy used ones from ebay or similar. (E.g., search for 'vga cables lot')
