Maybe I got confused the OP bash with the comment above. Regardless, Monster bashing is annoying.

Why because they sell snake oil that makes cables better? And charge ridiculous amounts of money for it? Continue the bashing

Monster makes a solid product.

I love the segway he used in that tiny room

If you're cable is not okay, monster or not, 2 things can happen

The First thing will be white snow on the display because the signal error correction chip fail.

Then you'll have On .. Off... On ... Off monitor.

If you get a signal without both of those then it's 99% fine.

My 50$ 35 feet monoprice cable hold my 1080p 24/60hz signal just fine without any error..

Quite frankly, I really don't know what the OP was trying to convey. In the first post he seems to poke fun at Monster, but then appears to support them in his second post. I'm so confused as to what to now believe!

LOL

I find it funny that you bash Monster as you have a Monster power center in your system.

Read this article. I spent $18 each on Belkin HDMI cables at Sam's Club because I wanted ones with gold ends so they wouldn't corrode. I have had very bad luck with Monster Cables over the years and the 2 S-video I purchased both broke and had to be tossed and my cheap ones are still working. I would never purchase a Monster product again, they are all hype.

Sorry, but I doubt that your 35 feet of monoprice cables are actually sending 1080P. More likely it is actually sending only 720P for that length.

I bash the cables. Not the company.

I am not going to spend $15 on a surge protector to put $4000 of equipment on it.

Funny my Projector say 1080p/24hz, my amp say 1080p/24hz and my Blu-ray player say 1080p/24hz.

The amp and Projector are the ones linking with my 35 feet cable. If my projector didn't received 1080p/24 it would fail to Sync and i would have a blank screen (that's how HDMI work, if it fail to negociate the resolution it blank).

Btw you'll want to talk to 90% of the member that post in the Projector section on Avsforum forum also... LOL!

I had based it upon the published lab tests, which showed that it failed. However, I am incorrect and they apparently passed in the real world (but the 50 foot failed both in the lab and in the field):

HDMI is a digital cable, that means all it sends is a signal denoting 1's and 0's.
Buying a really expensive HDMI cable is like buying one of those graphing, scientific calculators to do everyday simple mathematics.

Well I use a $5000 USB cable, and I am sure my transferred files to my external hard drive are better quality than if I use a $5 USB cable!

Just like speaker wire/cabling, interconnects, power cords and the like, which have substantial differences in quality, I don't see why people are saying that all HDMI cables are created equal. I don't think they are. Does that mean you should spend exhorbitant amounts of money on these? NO! But to say that they are equal in quality and performance over everything else just doesn't make sense.

John,

Unfortunately too many people at Blu-ray.com either do not have the interest, appreciation, equipment, money, aptitude and/or ability (or learned to hear adequately) to see and hear the differences.

Speaker wire is different. It's not a digital signal. There is one analog cable system that doesn't depend so much on quality though. XLR/balanced audio. They are fairly cheap cables, and used in movie production, concerts, pro audio recording. It's just once consumers play the movie that was filmed using cheap XLR cables, they insist on using $100 HDMI cables!
