This is the best s-video cable I've ever used. I'm seeing my movies like never before, it's clear like component. Best of all it's really strong. It's so durable that even after some of the tiny prongs bent after the cable was abused, the metal bent back into place and the picture looks perfect. This Monster cable is definitely not overpriced.

I was skeptical about any difference between Monster cables and any other brand. I've used s-Video for my DVD/TV hookup as well as my Panasonic Palmcorder to DVD Recorder.

I previously used an RCA brand and a Panasonic cable (a retail cable, not an "included with camcorder" cheapie). I did not notice any a difference in performance upon connecting the Monster cable. I switched back for a few minutes and again noticed no performance change, and no performance increase when reconnecting the Monster cable.

I did not buy the Monster top of the line, but the average THX certified $16.99 Monster cable.

I do not have audiophile type equipment - an average Panasonic TV, a $500 range Panasonic home theater, and a $250 Panasonic DVD player/recorder, so I'm not dealing with hyper senstive equipment that requires ultra-quality cables.

I would recommend these if you need new or additional cables, but I would not buy them just to try and improve your signal, as you probably won't see any improvement. Price wise they are only a little more than other cables and they seem to be good quality.

This cable was cheap, but very good quality and it will get the job done.

After installing the S-Video Cable, the sound on my DVD player deteriorated badly. HOWEVER -- the unit is several years old and S-Video was brand-new at the time. Perhaps, despite an appropriate output, the older unit isn't able to handle the high power of the newer cable?

I will be the first to admit that I don't have the best vision in the world and that I need to make an eye appointment with the optometrist. So with that said..... This cable is great and it really does make a difference compared to standard monster RCA plugs. I mean, Star Wars Episode I and II aside, has George Lucas ever steered us wrong before?? Has he?? The answer I'm looking for is No, people. I think that if anyone knows picture quality it would be this guy. I really believe that I can see the difference. Well I am using a $600 progressive scan DVD player, and a $1500 HDTV so that might have something to do with my amazing clarity!! Or maybe I just don't know what the heck I'm talking about.
