Great:
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. If you shop around, you don't have to spend much for good cables like these.
Great cable and price!:
Great price on this cable. Just as good as the THX Ultra 800 without paying extra for the THX name. HUGE difference over S-video! Better than cheap cables too. Don't skimp on cables by buying cheap ones. If you can't see the difference, get glasses or better TV! Best cables w/o paying a fortune!
Whoa!!! Apples and Oranges:
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. 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.... more info
What's your budget?:
Do you own a 27 inch TV with a $27 DVD player? Don't bother. Do you own a $5000 amp, a $3000 DVD player, and a set of speakers that you might bury yourself in? Don't bother buying, unless you want to burn money. 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.
Simply put, buy comparable cables with and without the Monster name and run a test with your ears. You will probably find that you can... more info
