Customer Review: Compatibility Issues
Summary: 2 Stars
In October, I purchased a brand-new JVC television for my PS2. Along with it, I purchased the Monster Component Cable. I hooked up the cable many times, at least 3 dozen, and no matter what I tried, all I ever got wasd the black and white picture from the Y cable. For some reason, the Pb Pr connectors weren't working. Apparently, the reason they weren't working was because my television wasn't compatible with Pb Pr, only with Cb Cr. So, just a warning. If you own or are purchasing a TV in the future, make sure that it's compatible with Pb Pr before you purchase this product.Customer Review: Connections are TOO TIGHT! What happened to Monster quality control?

What has happened to Monster's quality? In 2003-04, I had a discount on Monster cable through my employer and purchased close to $1000 (retail prices) worth of their cables for wiring up my home theater. I have been using the Gamelink with s-video for my PS2 and that works great. Here it is 3 years later and I buy these Gamelink 400 for use with my new HDTV with component inputs. When I tried to install them I thought I was going to snap the connections off my TV because of the amount of force I had to exert. With much determination I got them to connect. I switched on the PS2 and experienced no video just sound. I had even a harder time removing them. When comparing these cables to my older s-video Gamelinks the differences are the new wires are lighter, rigid and the connectors are definately too small in diameter. In hand, they feel cheaper compared to the heavier more pliable older wires. I will no longer buy Monster cables and I do not recommend these to anyone. Audioquest is much better. Too bad they don't make gaming cables.Customer Review: Failed in 10 days! Monster HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERV!
Summary: 1 Stars
First, I do not write reviews unless the product really ticks me off!! So Monster has pushed me to the limit here, so that I write how INCREDIBLE NEGATIVE their customer service is, and how their cables DO NOT WORK! Sure, I'm sure for some people it worked, and life is peachy. But think of this!! If it doesnt work, you will take a year to get a hold of someone [took me 4 calls] for them to be totally rude and just give you an address.
My cable starting losing color in 10 days, and everything became yellowish. Thats right $60 to look at yellow movies and games. Pathetic. Now I have to mail it in, instead of them sending me a replacement first, then I mail it in. So for now they stole my money, DONT LET THEM STEAL YOURS!!!
Customer Review: You have to be kidding me.

Utter waste of cash right here. you pay twice the price of the sony cable for a cable that1) has no audio output
2) tends to be way too loose of a connection when plugged into the ps2
3) has a lot of advance shielding that does absolutely nothing (yes I have done extensive testing on it. neither sony nor monster gets interference for the most part, but when you do hit those high levels, BOTH cables get interference just as bad)
Monster is nothing but a name that people seem to be way too willing to pay for. their products are decent but by no means high quality. save the cash and get the official Sony cable instead.
Customer Review: be carefull that you know what you are buying

this yes is a great cable for you ps2 to increase the picture quality but the pitfall is it does not transmit audio signals so that means you have to buy an additional fiber optic cable for sound this is an extra exspense that in the site info about this product it does not state even though it is clearly printed on the package but we online buyers can not view the package so be sure you check into this cable and make certain it is the right one for you
