1 out of 5 stars Still a ripoff   August 23, 2010
markgraf (NY)
I have never been able to see a significant difference between this and other HDMI cables except when it comes to price. I have never spent more than $6 or so on an HDMI cable and have never had a bad product. They have all done the job they claim they will do for more than twenty times less cost than a Monster cable.

HDMI is a digital interface. Digital signals don't give a single solitary damn about the name on the cables.

The only possible reason for giving these things a five star review is that you spent the cash and you need to convince yourself that you aren't dumb as a fence post.

Buy the $2 cables, they work exactly as well. Unless it's worth $130 to you to have the name on the cable.

Please please heed the advice of the other reviewers and do not sink your money into these worthless cables. The $7 alternative works just fine and functions identically !!


4 out of 5 stars Monster is not a ripoff .....Do your homework on HDMI cables before buying   July 20, 2010

After reading multiple reviews on this HDMI cable from Monster, as well as, many other HDMI cables with extremely mixed reviews; it became apparent to me I needed to learn & understand how to differentiate between the types/brands of HDMI cable offered.

After a brief visit to [...], I was able to understand HDMI clearer. Higher transfer speed cables are needed for specific hardware that you are using (i.e. cable/satellite boxes w/HD service requires 10.2 GPS speed & BluRay player needs 14.2 GPS transfer speeds). So after reading many mixed reviews from angry buyers complaining of overpaying, I finally understood why.

With this said, the best advice I can give anyone looking for a HDMI cable is to understand that pending on what application/device you are using will allow you to know what kind of cable you will need. Although Monster brand cables are usually priced much more expensive than others; if you shop around can be found for under $50 (i.e on amazon from reputable dealers selling open boxed and/or repackaged).



4 out of 5 stars A great buy if you can find it for the right price   July 8, 2010

This review is for the 8 foot cable

I agree with most of the reviewers point of only a dumba$$ would pay obscene amounts of money for a HDMI cable that really doesn't make a lot of difference, that being said this is a great cable that does make some difference and if found at the right price is a must buy. I personally bought mine brand new from a seller in the Amazon marketplace for $19.90, how they afforded to sell it for that I do not know. It was labeled Refurbished and truthfully it may have been but when it arrived it was unopened in the original factory box and when I replaced the original cable I'd been given by Direct TV I noticed a difference immediately. Now I'm not sure what the grade or level of the cable direct TV gives out with there extreamly expensive HD DVR's is, but this cable definitely made a difference. I wouldn't recommend paying the $200 Amazon says the stores sell it for and I would recommend paying the $132.74 Amazon has it on sale for either, but the low low price of 19.90 I payed for mine I definitely recommend if you can fined it for that you buy. I gave this a 4 star rating due to the high price most places try to sell this for, it's not easy finding a Monster cable of this quality for cheap, It gave the Quality of the cable 5 stars but the price and value for your money both 3 due to the high price I've seen attached to this cable.
