Have ordered from same vendor. Quick delivery. Product described accordingly. Best price found.
As I replaced each wire with Monster Cables the picture was better until all wires were Monster and the picture was perfect. You could only notice it when the picture on the TV was still or a close face shot.but aggravating nonetheless. I understand that some people do not need this product. My signal loss consisted of lines that would roll up the screen.usually two at a time and they were just a slight shade lighter than everything else on the screen. Bottom line - if you're experiencing signal loss this should fix your problem - otherwise you can probably stick with the cheap ones Personally I have to use a hub (switch box) for my components because I only have one HD input for my TV. I was experiencing serious signal loss due to the hub.
I haven't seen any improvement yet aside from the money that I am missing. I grabbed these cables with the impression that Monster's advertising has some truth in it. Perhaps there is a noticeble difference between these and the dinky cables included with most DVD players (but the same can be said for the $20 cables that I was using). I tried these cables and the THX certified monster cables with no observable effects whatsoever. I was expecting a brighter/clearer image on my big screen that what I was getting with some $20 (other brand) cables. Guess what.
The picture now has lots of noise and grainy and is simply not as smooth as with a Acoustic Reasearch HDMI cable. These cable don't do the job. I have a Vizio 42" plasma that was connect to my HD DVD and H20 Directv dish via an HDMI cable. My HDMI connection broke (long story)so I had these Monster component cables lying around and I connected them.
By the way, be wary of all the glowing reviews you read on amazon for this product or for others as well. Do your research and save some of your hard earned money. There are cheaper and equally performing cables out there.
And guess what, no difference. And what's the purpose off a gold plated connection if the rest of the signal passes through a copper cable. I compared a Monster Cable vs one the one from Phillips which costs less than half this.
It irks me see the staff at BestBuy and Circuit City pitching Monster's $75 Component Cables and $120 HDMI cables at uneducated customers. Recently I have been seeing a lot of positive reviews from anonymous reviewers or reviewers with only one review to their name. That's right.
They rip you off.
