Digital camera reviews of Monster HDMI-400 400 Series HDTV HDMI Cable (2 meters)
Digital camera Review: Its Like Putting Premium Gas into a New Car
Summary: 1 Stars
Okay people...here it is.....HDMI signals are made to work over the cheapest of HDMI cables...purchasing the ultra-turbo-powered-air tight-bestest cable in the world would have no visually perceptable difference to using a cheaper cable.
Its akin to buying a new car, whose engine is made to burn regular 87 octane gasoline...The car will not run better on premium gasoline, though you are welocme to spend the extra money and put it in the car. The car gas mileage will be the same.
Thank you and take care.
Digital camera Review: Monster Bashing
Summary: 5 Stars
I, just like everyone else, know that a subpar or even a moderately subpar wire will work and deliver picture and sound, however, unlike those who are telling you they are A/V junkies, I was not one, and used the cheap wires. I wound up replacing them a couple of times, given their very poor quality and durability. I used every other wire in order to avoid paying a lot for monster cables. However, out of sheer frustration and a little curiostiy, I decided to upgrade one of my cables from a very poorly made wire to Pure AV, which are definitely decent cables. I then decided to upgrade one more time, to see if I could really tell a difference with Monster. I heard all the technical stuff, I listened to the arguments about one cable being just like another, but I wanted to see it myself.
So, I picked up this wire for an uponverting DVD player and a Monster DVI-HDMI for my computer to my TV. Perhaps, you might think I am lying or just trying to defend Monster, but I immediately saw a difference. The quality of the picture was phenomenal and the sound was amazing. Like I said, I was not an AV junkie, so I did it all based on what I knew, heard and saw, and I can tell you the Monster cables do make an amazing difference, and not just in terms of connecting a computer to a TV but also with my PS3 which makes games and my Blu-Ray movies look unbelievable.
Do I want to spend that much on cables? Certainly not, and the only reason I do is because I can tell a difference, colors are more vibrant, blacks are more black, and the sound is crystal clear (I should also mention I have also upgraded my Optical sound cables to Monster as well). Also, if you do purchase a Monster cable, you will see a little slip of paper included which carries with it a lifetime guarantee. So, I spend $100 plus and yet it is not a waste of money, because if anything happens, I merely return it for another one. I don't know how that is a bad deal, and how Monster is selling us a lie, when they are willing to stand behind their product that strongly.
So, yes, you can get sound and video from other cables, and it will work, and you may think there is no difference, but given my setup and what I have seen, I am now a loyal customer of Monster products and recommend them to anyone who asks me what they need if they want to set up a Home Theater. I even use their powercenter in order to protect my investment, and even then, there is a noticeable difference in the way things run, and the way things look.
I know it sounds ubelievable, and I, myself, had to question whether I was just trying to convince myself that I noticed a difference, but when something is that noticeable the minute you turn it on, it is hard to argue otherwise.
That is merely my .02 on the whole thing.
EDIT: Initially, I was annoyed by all the disparaging remarks against Monster cables, but now, I find it rather humorous how heated people get over a cable. Suffice it to say, I have used cheaper cables and though they work, which I never once said they didn't, they are horrible cables, made of very poor quality. I am not going to argue about the whole signal 1's and 0's thing, I am just going to say, on a practical level, I was getting tired of replacing my cheap wires because of how poorly they worked. One broke, the other shorted out, and the other one did lack a vibrancy in color (I am sure I am going to be called a liar for that one). When I replaced those cables with Monster I never had that problem, and the only reason I started to buy Monster cables was because if the same thing happened that happened to my other cables, I have a lifetime warranty. I send it back and they give me another cable. I still cannot understand how that is a bad deal.
So, go buy your cheap $6-$10 cables and enjoy them, I will stick with my Monsters and their lifetime warranty.

This is my first product from Amazon, and I am completely satisfied with it, very convenient and extremely good. Now my HDMI DVD player gives very good quality picture and the enhanced sound quality is very good. The price was much reasonable than many places.
Love it

This Monster 400 series HDMI cable is just perfect for HDMI connections.
What a bargain to get this at half the price of the big box store.
I have all my components (Sony Toshiba and Panasonic) are connected via the HDMI Monster Cable. The quality of the picture and audio is unsurpassed.
