Customer Review: YES, BUY THIS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very skeptic about purchasing these video cables. I read about it all over the internet and even read some reviews that were at least remotely related to the monster brand which was said to be one of the finest A/V cable manufacturers. Most of my concerns came from reading how frustrating it could be to plug the cord to the TV jacks and of course, how big of an improvement the S-Video mode would achieve on my 43 inch -non HD- TV I planned to use these on. I have a rear projection set and the definition I got by using composite cables was so-so.
After much thought I decided to go with these, inspite its steep price ($35+7 shipping) and the before-mentioned issues. I attempted to plug them to the TV jacks. They fit nicely into the console (both N64 and GC) and so did the S-Video end but the audio plugs would not fit. I wasn't going to risk the integrity of my hard earned, costly TV so I didn't push them in too hard and pulled them out instead. At that point a very simple thought hit me: Why don't some people use their brain once for a change?? Just take some metallic scissors or any resilient long-nose tool or eating utensil and push the contact borders out a little bit so they'll fit the audio jacks. That's all! The cables will not be damaged because of this unless you're not careful and apply super human strenght on'em. The contacts are allegedly made of gold. What's better than that? This took me 2 minutes and can save you tons of grief.
On to the graphics: after careful examining and going back and forth between the S-Video input and the composite input I realized that if I had to go from one to the other so often was because the difference is small. I expected total awesomeness! That said, there is difference. Colors are more vibrant and the jagged edges are less noticeable. Things looked a bit clearer, specially when you move close to them and more details jump into sight that you may not have seen in your game before; you suddenly realize they were there, unnoticed.
This product did indeed improve the picture of my games, however, the component cables made by sony for its PS2 make the picture better. I can't help but wonder how good they'd make my GC look. I couldn't get these because they're no longer manufactured and my GC is one of those newer models that don't have the multi out output to connect component to. My TV has a 480i mode I could have used with those but Monster S-Video was the best I could do for my console graphics-wise. If you have this set up too, go with it and purchase this product without hesitation. You won't regret it. I don't.
