Customer Review: Please let others know about these cables!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was one of those Monster Cable fanatics who linked everything (TV, dvd player, receiver, e.t.c) to the Monster Cables after buying them from Circuit City or Best Buy. I was just about to splurge on the Monster Cable hdmi cables but I rushed/logged on to Amazon (as we all should!) to check on their reviews first. I was startled to find these hdmi cables going for $5 and some change, (I got mine from abacus 24-7, as I had previously purchased reasonably priced products from them before) while I was previously debating on whether to buy Monster or Rocketfish. After reading the reviews (950 members cannot be wrong!) I bought them , tested them and they worked perfect! They are the 1.3 version, and are clearly listed as such (previous negative reviews say that they are not 1.3). Shipping is very fast, about three days! (if you can wait that long) I would recommend them to anyone buying a hdtv or ps3, and also let others know about them. This is because, most customers (me included) buy their electronics from the above (and other big) stores, and are 'forced' to buy the other expensive cables due to lack of knowledge about other hdmi cables from other manufacturers, and most importantly, due to the fact that they are the only cables on sale at these stores. If you only want the very best, or want to have the reassurance of buying quality, then buy Monster. Many people are buying hdtvs now, or have been using composite or component cables, buying a new receiver/dvd player/ps3 with hdmi ports, or are subscribing to cable or satellite offering many HD channels, thus requiring a converter box with hdmi connection. They need to hear about this product and save themselves some money. By the way, while installing the hdmi cables, I dusted off my numerous Monster cables and surge protector that have been gathering dust behind my tv, hidden from view! (as they should)Customer Review: Excellent quality, excellent price!

This product is all you need for an HDMI cable. They do exactly what they are supposed to do. They transmit a digital signal between your components and your TV.
Don't buy into the hype surrounding Monster cables and the ridiculous prices they charge for them at Best Buy and other big box stores. Here is how it went for me.
I went into Best Buy to buy my HD DVD player. The salesperson asked me if I needed any HDMI cables. I hadn't yet received my order of these cables, and was going to need one more than I had ordered anyway.
I said, "I'm interested if you have any that aren't stupidly priced." He gave me a sideways looks and said lead me to a typical Monster stand. He held up a 4 Ft. HDMI cable that was marked as $79.
I shook my head and said, "There's no reason to pay that price, no thanks. I'll use the cable I already have."
He responded, "Well, is the one you have 1.3 compliant?" I thought for a second and said, "I believe it is, but I'll check." I ended the conversation there because indeed he had asked a question I couldn't fully answer. When I got home I looked up some information and was pleased to find that the salesman was indeed full of it.
The 1.3 standard is a standard for the HD components. It is a standard assigned to the port the cable plugs into, not the cable itself. There is no more wiring in a cable from Monster marked as "1.3 compliant" than there is in one of these "cheap" cables.
These will do the job and you won't be disappointed. If you have any video problems with these you might have a bad cable or the problem is most likely in the components you are using. I haven't had to return anything to this vendor, but I understand they are very easy to work with.
Customer Review: Excellent cable and very inexpensive!

This cable is well constructed and works perfectly! I have bought 4 or 5 in the last year for different TV's (and friends), and at less than $3.50 with shipping, you cant beat the price (really, you can't). You can't even buy the old style RCA cables for that much...and HDMI is the best you can go. These are gold plated and are very similar to the Monster cables that claim to be the best of the best, but Monster takes advantage of people who dont know whats so special about digital.
The beauty of all digital signal is that it doesnt matter how bad the signal is when it gets to the end of the line...its all ones and zeros, so as long as the signal gets to the TV, it will be just as beautiful as always. All the TV has to do is be able to tell if its one thing or the other (1 or 0) and the whole signal is there just as it was when it was sent out. Gold plating isnt even necessary, but this cable has it anyway, so if you really want it, this cable is still meets your needs.
I have experienced no issues with these cables over the last year and a half and they perform beautifully! I would suggest them to anyone! No one looks what name brand the cable is behind your beautiful TV anyway, so save the $100 and spend in on something else you can appreciate more than a more expensive brand name cable. New things are always price jacked everywhere you go when they come out (like firewire...which was also close to $100 when it came out...just because it was new). It costs next to nothing to make these cables, they arent anything special, Monster just charges a lot more because you pay for the name. They ARE EXCELLENT cables, but not worth $95 more for sure.
PS: Yes, these do video and audio, and its absolutely stunning on my TV.

So I came home last night to find the cables i ordered were finally here. I just got off a 16 hour shift and its midnight. I told myself, "well i have work in 5 hours, I'll just hook it up to my Xbox and play tomorrow". So I opened it up and installed it to my 32" Samsung LCD. Ok, all done. Time to get some needed sleep... I wonder what the Xbox dashboard looks like in HDMI? So I turned in on and saw my living room fill with bright vivid color. I was pretty amazed.. And this was just the dashboard! I set my Xbox to 1080p and said ok, its configured.. Then I put in battlefield bad company 2. . . Good bye sleep. As soon as the title screen came on I was in complete awe. I started playing as a sniper and I can see EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, in the game running around! No more straining and getting my eyes watery, checking my peripherals for the slightest amount of pixilated movement only to find out it was the sway of a tree. Needless to say, I dominated as a sniper, seeing everything in front of me in full clarity.HDMI realllly makes a difference. The only watery eye i got was the complete satisfaction of watching people looking for my position and see them coming a mile away only to be disappointed as they drop from a well aimed sniper round to the head. They tried so hard with their 420p resolution to look for me...but it never happened.
HDMI all the way. You won't be disappointed. Oh god, did i mention the price?! I paid 2.55 free shipping?! That's a cheeseburger!
I did get sleep that night though. I played till 2 am and got up at 6am
i wish i called in sick today...
Customer Review: Price performer!

HDMI is a digital signal. That means it's all or nothing--not like analog where you may have degradation due to signal loss, crosstalk, radio frequency interference, etc. As long as you have a decent HDMI cable to transmit the digital bitstream from point A to point B, you're set. I just purchased the new Sony Bravia S-series 32 inch LCD TV. To go with it, I trashed my old Apex with the missing remote and got a deal on a Sony DVP-NS70H upconverting DVD player that can synthesize "extra" lines of resolution. The player can send 720p or 1080i signal to the TV. (Current DVDs are 480p; that standard will change eventually with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.) I knew that the upconversion feature only works through a digital connection, so I'd need to get an HDMI cable. Started checking prices and, no surprise, they were all over the place. Some were in the $100 range. Despite mild skepticism, I decided to try the cheapest one. This little beauty arrived in 3 days in a plain brown wrapper and a clear plastic bag. The cable is surprisingly robust, with nice build quality, supple insulation, and good connectors. I started to feel vindicated. So I plugged it in, put Harry Potter in the DVD player and WOW!! The DVD player and TV did their magic. Spellbindingly great picture and sound. I haven't tried a component analog connection--those cables are REALLY expensive and quality matters more there--so I can't compare component versus HDMI. Bottom line: this is an unbeatable price performer for around $10 incuding shipping. And no, this is not an April Fools joke.
