Rating:  - * Situationally Great!!! ... I understand that some people do not need this product. Personally I have to use a hub (switch box) for my components because I only have one HD input for my TV. I was experiencing serious signal loss due to the hub. As I replaced each wire with Monster Cables the picture was better until all wires were Monster and the picture was perfect. My signal loss consisted of lines that would roll up the screen...usually two at a time and they were just a slight shade lighter than everything else on the screen. You could only notice it when the picture on the TV was still or a close face shot...but aggravating nonetheless. Bottom line - if you're experiencing signal loss this should fix your problem - otherwise you can probably stick with the cheap ones Rating:  - * Terrible price for no noticeable benefit over other decent component cables... ... I grabbed these cables with the impression that Monster's advertising has some truth in it. I was expecting a brighter/clearer image on my big screen that what I was getting with some $20 (other brand) cables. Guess what. I haven't seen any improvement yet aside from the money that I am missing. I tried these cables and the THX certified monster cables with no observable effects whatsoever. Perhaps there is a noticeble difference between these and the dinky cables included with most DVD players (but the same can be said for the $20 cables that I was using). Rating:  - * Didn't do the job ... I have a Vizio 42" plasma that was connect to my HD DVD and H20 Directv dish via an HDMI cable. My HDMI connection broke (long story)so I had these Monster component cables lying around and I connected them. These cable don't do the job. The picture now has lots of noise and grainy and is simply not as smooth as with a Acoustic Reasearch HDMI cable. Rating: - * Monster Cables are a Rip Off ... I compared a Monster Cable vs one the one from Phillips which costs less than half this. And guess what, no difference. That's right. They rip you off. And what's the purpose off a gold plated connection if the rest of the signal passes through a copper cable. It irks me see the staff at BestBuy and Circuit City pitching Monster's $75 Component Cables and $120 HDMI cables at uneducated customers. There are cheaper and equally performing cables out there. Do your research and save some of your hard earned money. By the way, be wary of all the glowing reviews you read on amazon for this product or for others as well. Recently I have been seeing a lot of positive reviews from anonymous reviewers or reviewers with only one review to their name. Rating:  - * Composite Video cables make a difference ... Definite difference if you are using an HDTV the DVD picture is much clearer, only wondering if HDMI is even better? Only downside is, I wish the cables were about 10ft long for more slack. |
