How to differentiate HDMI 1.3 from other versions

[SNAP]

You and the rest of the Monster bashers are far from totally educated on this subject. I have been in the A/V business for over 15 years and have come to realize that all cables are not equal. I myself was once like you-a believer that Monster was not worth the money. I was proven wrong by conducting tests between cheap cables and Monster. I highly doubt you were able to compare two TV's next to each other using the same source with different cables. There is a difference--not only in picture quality but sound as well. The Monster HDMI cables are also manufactured by hand. Yes, this is true. I have personally witnessed the process. Also, I bet you did not know that Monster guarantees their HDMI cables for life. They guarantee that their cables will support all future technologies. If not, they will send you a brand new up-to-date cable for free!! This is no BS!!. What other cable company will do that for you???? Don't believe me, check it out. Sure you can buy a $10 HDMI cable and watch TV, but trust me you get what you pay for. Buying a cheap HDMI cable for your nice HDTV is like buying $20 tires for your BMW. Below is a link to Monster's site explaining the importance of good HDMI cables. I realize that it is from Monster, but there is a lot of good info here.......Check it out & tell me what you think. Is it all propaganda or are the correct??

Because if that is what you are trying to say, you are 100% wrong.

I bought a Sony TV so I didn't buy the cheapest HDTV on the market at the time. When the time came to buy an HDMI cable for another device I used my self taught understanding of HDMI cables to purchase a reasonably priced, far more affordable HDMI cable than anything labeled MONSTER.

That's called being an educated consumer. Nothing more, nothing less.
