If you're new to the DVD arena, you might have tried to use the S-video cables that came with your DVD player. That's the biggest mistake to make. When I first used the cable supplied by the manufacturer I wasn't all too impressed with DVD. After doing some research, I figured out that the connection between the player and the television is the most important aspect, second only to the type of player you have. The Monster Cable Super Video 2 High-Resolution Monster Cable made a world of difference! There was virtually NO signal leakage or interference. Because of the Monster Cable, I'm now hooked on DVD's. In addition to the high quality, this cable is also extremely affordable. The only way to surpass this cable is to spend MUCH MORE on ultra-high-end cables. You can't go wrong with this cable and maybe you too can be a new found DVD junkie.

look up the "Monster Cable J2 HCAM SM-6 Hi-8/S-VHS" kit. Although it is titled for camcorders, it has the Super Video 2 (6 ft) and the Interlink 250 (6 ft) for only $5 more. The Interlink 250 are excellent quality RCA cables that by themselves sell for $30. Trust me on this one... I went and looked at the packages to compare. You can also look up the products on the Monster Cable homepage. Enjoy listening!

At first, I hesitated buying these monster s-vid cables because I thought those who pay a lot for their cables were suckers. After hearing all the hype, I got this. To my surprise, this cable did make a difference to the picture quality. There is definitely a visible difference in pic.quality. In my observation, I notice more vibrant colors, more defined edges and most obvious of all, the details in the black had improved tremendously. There is another high-grade s-video cable on the market by "tributaries." But it costs alot s for 1m cable. Ouch. Get these monster cables. You will better enjoy your dvd player.

It's time to scrap your old S-Video cables that came with your DVD player. The Monster Cable Super Video 2 High Resolution S-Video Cable is a great product for a suprisingly low price. Playing DVD's with this monster cable makes a world of difference. There is almost no noticeable signal leakage or interference. The only way to get a better product is to spend MUCH more for the ultra-high-end cables. If you need a clearer image from your DVD player, this cable will pass the test with flying colors.

The secret of utilizing the full potential of your DVD player is in the power transference from unit to television. Don't trust your power to anything other than Monster Cables. Straight out of the box, toss the factory cables...don't even plug them in. Using these cheap cables is a waste of time. I recently purchased a Toshiba SD1600 (you can read my review here at Amazon) and thought nothing of paying the extra money based solely on the reviews I read. I also purchased the RCA's from Monster cable, which comes with a video cable. Just a tip, you can save money by buying the Monster Cable S-Video DVD player Just Hook It Up kit. That way you aren't bothered by the superfluous video composite cable.

Now and then I try a Monster product just to see if they've improved or reverted back to their higher quality of 15 or so years ago. This s-video (all Monster s-video cables have the same 30-ohm internal wire, regardless of price, and are not 75-ohm NTSC standard) makes a cheap tv with image brown-out look a little juicier -- but on better tv's the image is too red, skin tones are off, grays are muddy, blacks are blocked up and below valid YUV levels, skin tones and shadows bristle with cyan blotches. Not too bad on a good CRT tv but looks dreadful on LCD's, none of which have accurate color to begin with. All colors thru this wire have an unrealistic candy-cane look. If this is your preference, by all means spend your $$$. AR-ProII and Belden make much better s-video wire. Be careful with Monster's plugs: the pins break easily, and the fit is way too tight.

I'm really depressed. Out of the box it was a dud. Since monster seems to have such a high standard, this is really disheartening. I checked it on various systems, made sure the prongs were straight. Everything, but no good. I'll have to buy another. No feed at all!

The cable works great.. I haven't compared it with other brands, I've always used Monster... but you won't miss with this one.

A high quality gold-plated cable! I just wish I tried this one earlier...instead of using the one that came with my VCR & DVD player!

Monster High Resolution S-Video works great with my Sylvania 42" LCD TV. Picture comes in well. Can view videos on your computer on your TV screen and the picture is decent.
