Default Monster's new HDMI 1.4

I was at BB yesterday talking to an installation tech when he took me to see Monster's new $400.00 1.4 HDMI cable. Makes my $3.50 1.3 seem insignificant.

no.. It makes your 1.3 seem smart, since it wont be able to do anything the 1.3 will be able to do for a few years.. Unless u want to fully take advantage of HT 3D, In which case you would need the 1.4 for dual 1080p viewing... And im sure monoprice will sell 1.4 HDMIs that are easily just as good for under $40

It was the same insignificant feeling that I had years ago, as a young man, when I approached the pharmacist and asked him for a condom and he handed me an "Extra Large."
