 Save your money - It's not worth the price November 2, 2008

I told you not to send anything by the US Postal system unless you wanted to lose it, and look at what happened.
That's right...USPS lost it.
Then you had to replace it at your expense for shipping and handling by UPS.
All for what? To save a buck?
Stupid mistake.
As for the HDMI cables from Monster....This product is like most other Monster products in that it is GROSSLY overpriced.
The quality is no better than cables costing a fraction of what Monster charges.
I have conducted several blind tests with friends and family members, and the results were no better than random guesses at what cables were hooked up. (About 50/50)
Most said they could not see or hear any difference between the cheap cables and the overpriced Monster brand.
I was taken in by the slick advertising, and technical graphics at first, but simple comparison tests soon changed my mind.
Monster does a hell of a job, marketing its product, that, I have to hand to them, but beyond that I'm not impressed.
Bottom line here is this; they make you think that if you paid an enormous amount for their product, then it must somehow be a lot better.
They feed off your ego, and your wallet, to convince you that you got the best.
Don't be fooled anymore.
 Cable Can Only Perform and Be as Good as the Equipment it's Connected To November 2, 2008

I understand all the opinions of the rocket scientists out there about 1's and 0's and everything. To a degree they are correct. Honestly though, if indeed this were that simple, then why would there be different HDMI cables offered from the same manufacturer? I suppose for the sucker like me! Sorry but no way! Let's start with this: the performance of the cable, materially perceptible performance anyway, will depend almost entirely on the equipment it is connected to. I'm sorry (again), but a cable is not going to make a bad DVD player (bad chipsets, interlacing capability etc.), or a cheap discount flat screen significantly better. The poor performance is inherent in the equipment itself. Also, you are highly unlikely to see any significant difference on a TV smaller than 50". I have a top end DVD player, Sony PS3 (for Blu-Ray), 2 Hi-Def cable/sat boxes with HDMI output (I can't control the quality level here) and the latest Pioneer Kuro 60" screen and let me tell you, the image is popping out of the screen with ever greater clarity and colors. Most importantly, I see less of the 'jittery' stuff (in layman's terms) than I did before, with already good equipment. So the point is, to take advantage of what 'faster' cables have to offer (which is one of the key things this cable offers with the way it is constructed), certain pre-conditions have to exist. Without these, many people probably are wasting their money...but it works for me!

Monster HDMI 1000HD cable October 28, 2008

Excellent cable. Also bought the same length (1m) in the 700HD. My set up is limited to 720p, but there is no discernable difference in the two cables. Both are excellent - producing noticeably more intense colors, better contrast, a sharper picture, and eliminating all pixelization. Ease of hook-up, as w/ all HDMI cables, is fantastic - I would highly recommend.

I guess it was more my fault than anyone elses. I should have done more research and determined that 2 meters was not enough cable to attach my cable and television. Since I threw away the packing material I kept the cable hoping that I can use it some where else.
