The Monster HDMI Difference While it is true that HDMI is a digital connection, not all cables are the same. Any cable used must not only pass the signal; it must maintain he signal with high-speed especially when accessing all of the advanced formats that are available from sources such as a Blu-Ray disc. Other HDMI cables do not provide protection from bends necessary for tight installation, or provide advanced manufacturing techniques and materials for proper terminations to eliminate noise. Only cables designed to eliminate noise and constructed with the highest standards to protect against installation methods will produce the highest definition audio and video. Monster has been a leader in the HDMI connectivity from the beginning, working with HDMI LLC to educate consumers on the benefits and performance aspects of the cables. With Monster Advanced for HDMI design and construction for the highest level of HDMI performance is guaranteed, thanks to greater cable capacity for support of 12-bit, 14-bit, or even 16-bit color (Deep Color) available from advanced HD sources and displays Every Monster Ultra-High Speed rated cable is manufactured with 24K contacts for maximum signal transfer and ultra-low distortion at the point of connection, silver-content soldering, connecting the HDMI cable's conductors to the connector's internal connection pins lowers resistance and maximizes digital signal transfer. Additionally, Monster Advanced for HDMI cables feature a heavy-duty internal metal shell which provides full shielding of the internal conductor wiring routed inside the connector. This provides an extra defense against interference that can enter at the connector can degrade the digital signal causing a poor image or drop-outs in the audio. This provides an advantage in performance not found in other HDMI cables. Many HDMI cables only feature metal at the connection point. Inside the connector, a thin plastic shield typically separates the molded or metal connector body from the wiring inside. This type of construction allows for damage to the conductor wiring caused during installation or everyday use to needlessly expose the stream bit to noise. These advanced design and construction features provide for the Highest Definition possible for the full entertainment experience today and into the future.

Some salesperson insisted that I bought one of these "for the quality". "It's worth every penny" he said. "Try it and you will see" he said. So, I did, after making sure that the store was going to allow me to return it for a cash refund, no questions asked.

I took this super-expensive wire home, I replaced the existing free HDMI wire that came with the satellite receiver and was connecting it to the TV with the Monster and... I saw no difference. Then, I unplugged the five-dollar HDMI wire that connected my Blu-ray player to the TV and plugged the Monster in its place and... I saw no difference. I returned this item to the store and decided to keep using my super-cheap or free HDMI cables because there is absolutely no difference between a five-dollar wire or a cheap-looking free wire that comes with some device that you buy and this expensive cable.

HDMI is all-digital for both sound and picture. As such, it either works or it doesn't. There's really nothing...Read more

Before I purchased this cable I was using Philips HDMI cable from Sony Blue Ray to my Pioneer plasma TV and the picture was better than what I see now using Monster cable. Actually I am using the european version 750 HDMI. I would say that simply every claim you can read on the box is just not true. The picture is less sharp than my Philips HDMI and the collors are different, they seem to have a very slight green/yellow tint, sometimes visible mainly in reds. The contrast is not as good as what I achieved with Philips that was obviously much cheaper. Even though the picture isn't so much different from my original cable, when I'm watching a movie it feels like something is missing, so I keep adjusting my TV settings, but I seem not to get the desired result.

I got suckered in to buying this cable. There is no difference I can see in the reception when I use the HDMI cable that came with the TV!
