Size: 2 Meters
I agree with the general contention of the above two reviewers that a fairer price for this cable would be around $50-60, rather than $100. However there are a couple of factual errors in their reviews. First, Monster cables *are* ATC-certified and are indeed allowed to display the HDMI logo -- check any box! Second, just because they carry digital data does not mean that HDMI/DVI cables are immune to noise -- they are quite susceptible to noise. It is easy for electrical interference from neighboring devices to flip bits (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) on a cable. Indeed HDMI cables have been demonstrated to suffer from significant degradation in signal quality without adequate sheilding, so a good cable like Monster's has some merit. There are any number of website which will certify to that. Unlike in computer networks, which use extensive re-transmission of corrupted packets to recover from noise, the tremendous bandwidth and real-time nature of TV viewing make re-transmission impossible in any TV cable. Thus a good quality HDMI cable is not the same as a bad one.

I have been an owner of this cable for the last six months and I am very happy with it. I have a whole mass of cables at the back of my TV, but I have never noticed any degradation in signal quality from interference. The picture has always been unbelievable on my big-screen HDTV, and much better than with a component cable I used earlier.

The quality of this cable is DEFINITELY worth the cost. I was using a DVI-HDMI converter and an HDMI cable before this. After replacing those 2 parts with this 1 part, I immediately noticed an increase in visual quality. Before, when watching movies from my computer, there were these "ribbons" across the screen. It's difficult to explain, but I'll try. These ribbons are noticeable lines between same colors of slightly different darkness shades. They are very distracting, and they are highly evident in the sky scenery in the opening scene of DreamWorks "How to Train Your Dragon". With this new cable, this problem is completely gone. The screen is very clean and does not have any of these ribbons. The outside of the cable is reinforced with webbing, ALL the contacts are gold plated (meaning there will be no quality-degrading corrosion), and the DVI connector/screws fit perfectly in my video card (I mention this because some cables don't fit properly). There is no audio connection with this cable, so make sure either your TV has a separate HDMI audio input, or you have a stereo that you can feed the audio into. I highly recommend this product.

First, disregard my rating as I don't actually have these cables.

However, the first poster is completely wrong when he says quality doesn't matter in digital cables. It most certainly does.

Even though the signals are digital in nature, they are not pure off/on, hi/low signals. They are still waveforms in an analog world and if you looked at them on a scope, you would see they are anything but nice square digital waves. At the high frequencies these signals run at, they are rounded, they have ringing, and they probably don't reach full signal levels ever over long runs due to loss. To top it off there are reflections at the cable ends due to imperfections in impedance matching between the wire and the connector that cause issues not unlike the ghosting you see on TVs with the old rabbit ear antennas sometimes.

The imperfections in the signals allow high levels to be received as lows and to also play havoc with signal timing. The first poster is confusing the ideal digital signal with the real world.

Look for other information online and you'll see. There is a limit to the cable runs you can do with these cables for a reason - the signal degrades. How much it degrades is a function of the cable and connector quality and the total run length. Over short runs you might be able to get away with lesser quality cables. Over longer runs, cable quality may mean the difference between working and not. The DVI/HDMI signal standard includes no error checking. Errors will increase with lesser quality cables and show up as sparkles and artifacts in the image.

So again, I don't know how the Monster Cables rank, but I do know that quality does matter. It even matters in mundane cables like RS-232. It all manifests as error rates.

This cable really cleaned up the display image. I had been running another Monster Cable - the 6 meter version. I needed the length before because of the way my system was configured. I have a review under that cable about how quality does matter.

And so does length. At the time I wrote the review I was just ordering the cable and was posting what I had found out in researching digital video signals. Everything in there stands true.

I changed my setup and decided to invest in a shorter version of the cable - the 1 meter version - because I could now get away with a much shorter cable. I installed it this morning and the difference, while not earth shattering, was definitely visible.

I use this cable to connect between the video card on a media PC and my TV (Sony rear-projection LCD). The image used to swim a little along the edges of some windows, text, etc., and the image wasn't as clear as I had hoped. While the image looked good, it didn't look great. That's why I decided to take the plunge and spend an extra $79 bucks.

The difference is somethine like going from a regular RF feed to your TV and component video cables. Now the image is crisp and clear and there is no swimming. It actually brings out detail I couldn't even see before - to the point of deciding to turn on FSAA and filtering so video games have a more realistic look. And that they do.

I don't know how other brands compare to the Monster Cables as I haven't tried them. What I do know is that signal integrity is very important to a good looking display. You can get that with high quality cables and by keeping the length to the absolute minimum required as there was a very perceptible difference just between the 1 meter and 6 meter versions of the exact same thing.
