Monster Cable For Life...the new MONSTER CABLES. - Blu-ray Forum

Zaphod · 08-30-2007, 01:26 AM

I know how we all feel about paying a premium for Monster Cables but their new cable line is to say the least...intriguing. First of all, their cables, except for their M Series, are rated now based on throughput. Also the prices have dropped pretty significantly compared to their last gen models. Also interesting to note is that they offer replacement for life if the HDMI standard EVER exceeds what their cables are rated for. Nice touch...

Also does anyone know if they are on Blu's side only? It mentions in the link about Blu-ray and the PS3, however no mention of HD-DVD.

Just some interesting reading...

No way they could be Blu only.

Same ports.

Most likly those comments are just because Blu is the more technically demanding standard.

I don't care what anyone says. I buy all Monster cables and I can tell a huge difference in picture/audio quality vs the cheap brands. They are worth the money if you can find them cheaper on the internet.

I say buy whatever you like, its your money. I use monster on most of my stuff too, yes I heard and read the reports saying there is no difference, but it just makes me feel better

+1 .....i noticed much improved sound quality and video might have been a little better too....but looking for them on the net you can find them cheap as hell really.

It's astonishing that Monster can sell cables for $90 that are no better than cables other companies sell for $10. Simply amazing ...

I don't know about spending that much for a hdmi I can get for like 2 bucks, but if it stops the cracklin' in the audio, or if anyone has any other hdmi cables that stop this please let me know so I can go pick up one or the other. Stay Blu Homies.

Take a look at your HDMI cable and see if the HDMI logo is on it. If it isn't, then it's a knock-off.

Someone I know had a knock-off HDMI cable. You could see white lines coming up in the screen every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It was annoying.

Why anyone buys Monster cables, I don't know...

Wait, people with HD-DVD use 1080a(nything)? Maybe that's why they talk to the Blu crowd.

Why would anyone in their right mind buy any cables from monster. Their cables are so over rated. You can buy a cable for the third the price and they work just the same.
