Great price on this cable.Just as good as the THX Ultra 800 without paying extra for the THX name. HUGE difference over S-video!Better than cheap cables too. Don't skimp on cables by buying cheap ones. If you can't see the difference, get glasses or better TV!Best cables w/o paying a fortune!

Whoa!!! Apples and Oranges

Several reviews mention the improvement when these cables to replacea composite (L/R audio + video) cable, or an S-video (multi-pinned plug). ALmost all of that improvement is due to the fact that these cable connection methods are completely different types in signal format and the TV uses different internal circuitry for each one. Virtually any S-video cable connection will give a better image than a composite type cable, and any component (individual R-G-B video) connection will be better than S-video. Cable brand has absolutely nothing to do with it. There may be some difference between one brand of component cable and another, but its almost always unnoticable.

What's your budget?
-
Do you own a 27 inch TV with a $27 DVD player?Don't bother.Do you own a $5000 amp, a $3000 DVD player, and a set of speakers that you might bury yourself in?Don't bother buying, unless you want to burn money. Monster may look pretty, and the performance of Monster vs. no name is certainly proven in the quantifiable scientific analysis...but your ear can't hear it.
Simply put, buy comparable cables with and without the Monster name and run a test with your ears.You will probably find that you can save yourself significant $ by purchasing equally constructed cabling without the Monster name...9/1/2004 12:00 AM | Rating:
Top Notch Cable

This is a great video cable, though it's very spendy. Superior to composite & S Video. Monster classifies it as "ultimate performance". I'd say only DVI & HDMI, which are both digital, are better. I needed a 2M or 6.5' cable because the 1M was just too short for my needs. I looked at this one (90$) and Monster's new THX Ulta 1000 4' component cable(100$). They had equal features. The THX cable is better looking than this one, however when it came down to it I didn't want to spend 10 extra bucks on a cable that's 2.5' shorter! Now this cable isn't THX certified, but it is certified by Imaging Science Foundation. I typically recommend Monster Cable, I feel they are the leader in A/V cables. This is a great fit for a progressive scan DVD player and/or HDTV. Get the most out of what you paid for! Rock On.

Great Quality just Way Overpriced!!
-
These and all other brand cables from MC are all overpriced including these.I have a 20" JVC I'Art television and I have my DVD connected through component.I have used Monster Cable component cables and they put out pretty much the exact same picture as my newer PHILIPS brand component cables that I only had to pay about [$$$] or so for.The PHILIPS are also shielded and gold plated and all that good stuff. So buy these MC component cables if you dont care about price, but otherwise buy PHILIPS brand that are way cheaper and put out the same quality picture.
