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??

Yeah, it's still propaganda. I've tested my set, same source, calibrated with Avia, with two HDMI cables, one Monster, one Blue Jeans, and it's the same. Don't even get me started on their component cables.
