The best deal for the Price December 23, 2008

What more do you want? A great gold-plated HDMI cable certified for v1.3. Blu Ray at 1080p 24 frames works excellent on this cable and I haven't observed any performance issues whatsoever.
Great Cable December 16, 2008

I worked in home theater for two years and was forced to really push the Monster cables out. What people don't realize is how much overly priced these cables are. Not because all cables are the same, but because of what it costs them to manufacture vs. the cost on customers. Monster cables are more than doubled in price from their actual cost. Now I won't go into the whole "digital: it's either all there, or not at all" debate because the real fact is that it is more complicated than that.
If you want tips at cables, one of the single most important things to consider is 1) Does it have an HDMI logo? This is actually quite important because a lot of cheaper imitators although may work, the percentage of successful products is much lower and less supported. The second thing is 2) How well is the cable built? Best Buy's Rocketfish cables are much cheaper than monster but I can't tell you how much trouble our installers had messing with them because the cables easily came apart.
I have not only bought these cables for myself, but for a bunch of other friends as well, and these work just as well as any other high end cable. Logo is there, build quality is descent. Don't worry so much about spending 30+ bucks on HDMI unless it is for a considerable distance. Even then it seems a bit steep to me.
I am not going to spend a lot for an HDMI cable :) December 13, 2008

[Anyone remembers the old "I am not going to spend a lot for this muffler" commercial?]
[NOTE: I bought TWO Premium Gold Series cables and I actually took home one Monster cable at one time so maybe I know what I am talking about :)]
Just in case someone may feel guilty for not paying a lot more for, basically the same thing, let's look at our top of the line offer, Monster HDMI 1000HD Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable (2 meters) and do a quick comparison.
The Gold Series item supports the HDMI 1.3 standard. Any HDMI 1.3 cable can carry up to 10.2 Gbit/s. Hmmm... I suppose the Monster is much better, right? Well... it "guarantees a certified cable bandwidth of 10.2" Okay, but the Monster also supports "x.v.Color, and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD". It turns out that, all of the above, and more, are part of the HDMI 1.3 specs and they are fully supported by every cable that complies to the standard and can be had for about 95% less in the Premium Gold. The expensive brand presentation simply enumerates the HDMI 1.3 specs as if it being HDMI 1.3 compliant was a really big deal. It is not a big deal. Even a cable that costs 95% less is HDMI 1.3 compliant.
My suggestion: if you think that the proponents of the expensive brand have a point when they claim that their product is a lot more durable, buy TWO Premium Gold wires and still pay almost 90% less than you would pay for one of the expensive ones.
My personal experience: I've never paid 'a lot' for an HDMI cable because it makes no sense to pay more. I took home one of the 'expensive' ones once because the salesman promised to take it back if I wasn't amazed by the difference. It made zero difference and I returned it.

I have no other HDMI cables to compare this to, but you know what, I'm very happy that I went this route. I had this since September and I had no problems. I'm using this with my HD cable and my Sharp 32" TV. HD channels looks great, crisp. It's best to buy this and not the $60+ cables.
 Only good for certain tvs December 6, 2008

I was tempted by the price and since I was purchasing a PS3, i wanted to get the most out of my system. I figured, what the heck, the price makes it worth a shot. How wrong I was. Just a few months ago I spent a pretty penny on a 50" 1080p plasma. I wanted my new PS3 to look the best it could with HDMI. However, the problem I ran into was when I tried to display 1080p signal. The cable displayed 480p, 720p, and 1080i just fine. Im sure I cant even tell the difference between the 1080p/i, but I wanted the best. There was noise and signal loss when using 1080p, so be warned. If your TV doesnt display 1080p, no worries, but if it does, pay a little more for what its worth. It was delivered promptly and neatly packaged, if that counts for anything.
