I work for a company that manufactures equipment for the Broaband industry. One of our product lines are HDTV A/V cables. They are of comparable high quality to Monster cables; made to very exacting standards with premium materials. We sell them for profit at around $[...] -- and they are even 3 feet longer than the Monster version ( compared to the 1 meter size).

People need to realize that they are paying too much!

Sure, Monster makes a good cable, there is no denying that. Deserving of 5 star rating for what it is.
But it is NOT worth a what they are charging. Minus 3 stars.

Look at it this way. When you buy Monster cables, 30% of what you pay for is the cable, and the remaining 70% pays for the brand name and the hype that goes with it. (They must spend a ton of money in marketing and you pay for it)

Shop around. Read about it in online forums. There are junk cables out there so be cautious, but don't believe you have to pay an arm and a leg for a quality cable. HDMI is a digital format, just 1s and 0s. It will either work or it won't, and the "quality" of the cable will not make or break it.

Please see the product discussion below -- "HDMI 101".

After three days I discovered the item was defective. Unfortunately the original packaging was discarded and vendor charged me a 10% restocking fee.

I purchased the 20 ft model, works great with cable going through wall to back of 60" plasma. 1m model works just as great from cable box to receiver. purchased on amazon due to getting ripped of @ my local electronic store. (20ft model purchased for $150.00, amazon price was 100.00) This cable was $78-$88 in store. I paid $38 @ amazon.

As a home theater fanatic I must say that yes these cables are expensive... but you definately get what you pay for and you should only be buying them once.... so make the investment and get the most out of your home theater like I have....

While I have read here and other places that there is no visible difference between cheap and better grade HDMI cables, my visual experience does not support that view. As soon as I switched from the HDMI cables that came from my satellite company to these, I noticed an immediate and somewhat dramatic improvement in color and clarity that was worth the price.

Excellent cable. Also bought the same length (1m) in the 1000HD. My set up is limited to 720p, but there is no discernable difference in the two cables. Both are excellent - producing noticeably more intense colors, better contrast, a sharper picture, and eliminating all pixelization. Ease of hook-up, as w/ all HDMI cables, is fantastic - I would highly recommend.

As long as the cable works the image will be identical. You are just throwing money away if you buy a high end HDMI cable. Just buy one for $10 at an electronics store or for $5 online. You will gain absolutely no benefit from buying a a ridiculously overpriced HDMI cable like this one.

Saved and got more suitable size buying online instead of retail. Timely delivery. Would do again.
