If you shop around, you don't have to spend much for good cables like these. Bought these for my DVD player to output 480p as my player does not have HDMI. Noticed a difference immediately, and with a price like this for Monster, you can't go wrong.
As soon as I connected the monster cable, I saw first hand how much of a difference quality makes.I have monster cable connections for every analog signal in my setup, and I couldn't be happier with it.Spend the money; you won't regret it. I was actually worried there was something wrong with my brand new projector, because the picture was so bad, and the cable I was using looked pretty decent. When you're buying cable for digital connections (DVI-D, HDMI, TOSLink) you can go cheap and get away with it. When you need a clean signal from an analog source (composite, component, RCA audio) you can't do better than monster cable.480P DVD video and 720P from my Xbox 360 look fantastic even with a 92" picture from my DLP projector.I was using heavy gauge but relatively inexpensive component cable to hook up at first (while waiting for this one to arrive in the mail) and it looked horrible.
Better than cheap cables too. If you can't see the difference, get glasses or better TV. Great price on this cable. Don't skimp on cables by buying cheap ones. Best cables w/o paying a fortune. Just as good as the THX Ultra 800 without paying extra for the THX name. HUGE difference over S-video.
Cable brand has absolutely nothing to do with it. Virtually any S-video cable connection will give a better image than a composite type cable, and any component (individual R-G-B video) connection will be better than S-video. There may be some difference between one brand of component cable and another, but its almost always unnoticable. Several reviews mention the improvement when these cables to replace a composite (L/R audio + video) cable, or an S-video (multi-pinned plug). ALmost all of that improvement is due to the fact that these cable connection methods are completely different types in signal format and the TV uses different internal circuitry for each one.
Simply put, buy comparable cables with and without the Monster name and run a test with your ears. Monster may look pretty, and the performance of Monster vs. no name is certainly proven in the quantifiable scientific analysis.but your ear can't hear it. Do you own a 27 inch TV with a $27 DVD player. You will probably find that you can save yourself significant $ by purchasing equally constructed cabling without the Monster name. Do you own a $5000 amp, a $3000 DVD player, and a set of speakers that you might bury yourself in. Don't bother. Don't bother buying, unless you want to burn money.
