The THX Ultra 800 component cable from Monster does what it's supposed to do. The cables are well built and feel sturdy in your hand. They aren't the most flexible cables I've come across, which could be a detriment when try to fit in tight spaces. The connection to the TV and back of my DVD player was secure, actually too secure. Trying to disconnect this cable is quite a chore, especially when you don't have full access to the rear of your components. As far as performance goes, I noticed slightly better images on my TV(nothing spectacular). For the price it is a good product.

Seems I'm about ten years late to this party; only one review ahead of mine. I've never used more than the yellow video in/out plug and the basic cable with my TVs. I purchased a new DVD player for occasional use and wanted to try the component connection for a better quality picture. My TV does not support progressive scan but even without that feature the picture is really good compared to before. The connectors are overly tight so you really need to be careful when attaching or taking off. The package doesn't come with instructions but with a little fiddling around I was about to get on. The color coded knobs will loosen and move down the cable so I moved them out of the way and worked the cable back and forth; applying pressure until each cable was attached and then I tightened the knobs back into place. The first was the hardest because I was not 100% sure it would attach to the TV and DVD player. I would only recommend purchasing if you have some amount of dexterity. If not, do yourself a favor and get something that isn't soooo tight.

I paid like $80.00 for these a few years ago and still felt like I got my money's worth at the time.
At like 13 bucks, this is a steal for awesome cables.

If you HAVE to run component cables, these are a steal.
That said, if you CAN run a HDMI cable, do that instead.
