Digital camera reviews of Monster MC 1000HD-2M Ultra-High Speed HDTV HDMI Cable (2 meters)
Digital camera Review: Death to Monster
Summary: 1 Stars
There is zero reason to buy this trash. Monster is a terrible company thriving off of morons at Best Buy who don't know any better than to buy into their insane marketing. Business practices such as this should be illegal. Anyone who buys this garbage needs to be hit with a shovel.Digital camera Review: Do not listen to the reviewers who are claiming miracles
Summary: 1 Stars
HDMI is a digital information transfer standard. As such, it either works to spec or it doesn't. There are no nuances or ways to improve the transfer quality of HDMI through a massively overpriced miracle cable. If your cable is certified to adhere to at least the minimum HDMI cable level standard as required by your equipment, eg. HDMI 1.2, HDMI 1.3, HDMI 1.3a, HDMI 1.3b, HDMI 1.3b1, HDMI 1.3c, that is all you need to know. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE CLAIMING TO HAVE NOTICED IMPROVED PICTURE QUALITY, CLARITY, DETAIL, COLOR, ETC. FROM USING THE MONSTER HDMI CABLE. [...] they are people who were using HDMI 1.0 -> 1.2 cables when they needed to use HDMI 1.3+ cables. No, not all HDMI cables are the same. You need to use HDMI cables that are certified to adhere to at least the minimum HDMI cable standard required by your equipment. At the moment, the highest HDMI cable level standard is 1.3c. Purchasing a relatively inexpensive, certified 1.3b or 1.3c cable will net you the same exact picture quality as these ridiculous, maliciously overpriced Monster cables. While I'm sure that the monster cables work fine, you could purchase ten or fifteen 3' high quality, certified HDMI v1.3b category 2 high speed cables for the same price as this one Monster 1-meter HDMI cable. Other lengths are comparable. Do the math.

Here are Amazon links to Dayton ATC certified v1.3b Category 2 HDMI cables for transfer speeds up to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps). They support resolutions up to 1600p, refresh rates up to 120 Hz, and 48-bit Deep Color. You cannot purchase better HDMI cables than these and they are inexpensive... $4 for 3.3 feet and $6 for 6.6 feet, etc. Dayton makes some good cables.

Digital camera Review: Does What It Should, at Ten Times The Price
Summary: 1 Stars
Monster's HDMI cables (as well as most Monster products) do exactly what they should do, and they do it exceptionally well. However, there is a caveat to the Monster HDMI cable: You pay ten times as much for their cable as you should be.
The problem is, this one-hundred thirty dollar cable will not do anything better than a ten dollar cable will. To put it another way, a cable one-tenth of the price of Monster's cable will perform exactly as well as the Monster cable. And yes, there are HDMI cables that can be had for one-tenth the price of this Monster cable. See monoprice dot com, and save your money.
Also, do not believe the store reps and companies who try to sell you these outrageously priced cables: they will not improve your listening or viewing experience one bit. Also, there are a lot of good reviews for this Monster cable. As well there should be, because the cable does perform well. But if an informed customer wrote a review about this Monster cable its cost, and wrote a review with the knowledge that the Monster cable performs only as well as a cable that it costs 10x more than, you would get a 1 star review for the Monster. Which is what you get here.
I don't like seeing people get ripped off by what I see as an attempt to take advantage of unaware customers. So I posted this review, and I hope you will not by these grossly overpriced Monster cables, unless of course you need to own something with the name "Monster" on it to impress people who think that Monster is better than other cables simply because they rip you off with their pricing!
Digital camera Review: Don't Believe The Haters.... Monster products outclass everything else!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bottom-line: Monster is the best there is! There is a reason it outsells everyone else. There is a reason why it sounds better, looks better, and performs better. Because IT IS THE BEST!!!! The other companies are completely outclassed. As a producer, musician, and technical professional, I have used and tested every company there is.... Hands down, Monster always gets the job done. They've pioneered the technology and raised the bar. Companies that can't compete just write blogs and try to change peoples minds. But, the fact is, what you get what you pay for. And, with Monster, you get the best! I have Monster in my home and my recording studio. It is the STANDARD. If you want something cheaper, go get it. There's plenty of products out there. Go get them. But, I guarantee that you won't be satisfied and that eventually you'll be back to Monster. This cable is GREAT!!!!!! Don't be fooled or misled. This is the cable you want for your home theatre. Monster is the best!!!!!!Digital camera Review: Don't be an Idiot

Digital transmissions are all or nothing. You do not need this ridiculous ripoff. Any HDMI cable will do and Asian made generics are available starting at $1.00, or check out the Amazon Basics cables.
