Monster Video 3 - certifiably the best. The Imaging Science foundation demands stringent standards be met for cable certification. MV3 not only meets ISF standards but exceeds them. That's why ISF calls Monster Video 3 "absolutely necessary for good pictures in home theater." One look and you'll agree.Monster Super Video 3 double-shielded S-Video cable features ultra-low attenuation design for excellent TV/video picture quality, even over long runs. Monster's cellular dielectric allows high-velocity signal transfer for maximum signal strength. Metal-to-metal double shielding with 100% foil plus 95% braid for maximum protection against RFI and EMI. This S-Video cable with advanced constructions has specially stranded copper center for true 75Ohm impedance even when bent. It is provided with heavy-duty 24k precision-machined S-connector for a superior connection.

Again, Monster has to be kidding (and they are):
For some years I tried this and other Monster products, to the tune of over $1000 in Monster a/v gear. The more you learn about video and audio, the more you'll avoid anything with the Monster label. Specifically, this s-video meets no NTSC, DVD or IEEE standard; it is common 30-ohm hookup wire with ineffective shielding and a poorly designed, low-conductance connect plug that can wreck your input jacks and gives poor grounding. Has a sharp image, but includes a catalog of chromatic aberrations from... more info
They stand behind their products:
I had a pair of these cables for approximately 2 years when i noticed there was a frayed end where the connector started to come off. I didn't notice any change in performance but I recalled that ALL Monster Cable "wires" have a lifetime warranty. I thought I'd try and take advantage of their claim and low and behold, I easily made arrangements to have a new one exchanged. It took only a week of waiting (back and forth shipping, mind you) and I had a brand spanin' new cable in my possesion. Great customer... more info
I am unable to verify its ultra high performance:
~I bought the MVSV3-1m cable and put it between my Pioneer V555 DVD player and SONY WEGA tv KV-27FS12, I was unable to see with my naked eyes any improvement regading the visual quality, color, sharpness. Same as the result as I used the composite cable came with the box. I really don't know why. I have to say, my TV is a good one and the picture quality is already satisfactory even I don't use DVD player. Unfortunately my DVD player does not have component jack to let me try the next level video~~... more info
Waste of money !!!:
No difference compared to another good cable costing 1/2 as much. Don't believe me - buy and then return it, or just save yourself the trouble. Monster preys on perfectionists. Those people giving such great reviews don't know the difference between an ohm and plastic.
