Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster MC 1000HD-2M Ultra-High Speed HDTV HDMI Cable (2 meters)Customer Review: Fact and Fiction Summary: 5 Stars
okay.....
Fact: Nearly everything from monster is more expensive than from any other brand.
Fiction: Dirt cheap cables are "just as good or better" than this one.
Everyday, I work with A/V equipment and I've seen it all. This specific cable (the Monster 1000 series) is THE best possible HDMI you could purchase. By stating this, I'm referring to construction quality, data transfer rate, connection strength, and POTENTIAL.
Fact: Analog signals can be "iffy" and full of static if not carried through a quality cable. And with digital signals, you either have it, or you don't.
Fiction: As long as you see the clear digital picture, the data was transferred perfect, regardless of the HDMI cable used.
The HDMI cable you purchase should ONLY depend upon what you initially invested in. If you buy a new Samsung LCD (LNA650-850) or any other high quality 120Hz LCD, bundled with a sweet BluRay player, then throw a 5 dollar, cheaply constructed HDMI cable at it, you will NOT receive the same possible smooth and lossless video (or audio, if you've invested in a home theater). Sure, "digital" is a sequence of 1's and 0's. but the speed at which they are transferred and processed make up the difference. this isn't all about pictured clarity, it's also about motion and colors. For people who have not experienced much beyond standard definition, that cheap cable suits them fine, simply because they don't know any better.
In their own description, Monster tells you that this specific cable is intended for the highest quality components, and guaranteed to last for the future. This cable even comes with a guarantee that if you purchase a new piece of technology that exceeds its capabilities, they will upgrade you for free......
Simply put, if you own a cheap TV (regardless of what the spec's claim it is capable of) and/or cheap components, this cable is not for you. In or technological age, if you get something cheap, you also get low-quality. That's always been true, but it is more so today, because the gap between crappy and great is extremely broad. many reviews try to call Monster "crap" and their only reason is price. Then you read their review, and most of them bought some cheap TV or have cheap components. In those cases, this cable WON'T be any better. Don't slam the cable. Slam yourself for not understanding what you bought.
There IS a difference if your TV and components are capable of the best standards. If they're not capable, you should save the cash and buy a cable that better suits you. If they are capable and you don't care about getting the best quality, you should've saved your money in the first place and bought a cheaper TV.
Buying an expensive, top-of-the-line TV and BluRay player, and connecting it with a cheaply made cable is akin to "Pimpin' your ride" without investing any money under the hood....... dumb....
