Monster MC 1000HD-2M Ultra-High Speed HDTV HDMI Cable (2 meters)

HDMI places incredible performance demands on your digital A/V connections. It requires a truly high-bandwidth cable that can deliver enormous amounts of digital data without bit-error and signal degradation. Monster has created the Advanced HDMI 1000HD Ultra-High Speed Cable for those who demand the best in high definition home theater--both now and in the future. This cable is ideal for larger HDTVs, advanced projectors, and high definition AV sources. Monster designs the most advanced HDMI cables and certifies their performance for future generations of products. If the performance capabilities of this cable are ever exceeded by future generations of HDMI, Monster will replace this cable at no charge--see product packaging for further details.

Yes, these are expensive cables. The main selling point, in my opinion, of Monster brand cables is the excellent construction quality. I have Monster Cables that are several years old, and they are just as supple and oxidation-free as when I first bought them. There are some reviews saying there is no noticeable difference, but it depends what type of system you plan to use them with. For latest-generation TVs with LCD refresh rate 240Hz, 1080p resolution, LED TVs, OLED TVs, and Blue-Ray, these cables are probably over the top of what you need. However, what I like to do is buy a top-of-the-line cable that has very high transmission bandwidth capability so I don't have to buy a new cable in the future (e.g., 3D TVs). When the next HDMI format comes out, these cables will be up to the task. One thing is for sure, though. I will never buy Monster Cables in a retail store; I find them much cheaper on-line.

The cable MONSTER MC 100HD did not arrive in the hotel on time, and did not followed the time proposed by the Amazon. The other requests except one (canceled by the Amazon) arrived on time. We cancel the payment in the credit card I would like to request the amazon cancel the bill in the credit card.

I bought this for a friend. He had been told by friends of his that an HDMI cable was a waste of money. I told him 'they' wasted their money by not getting a decent cable. I told him that Monster Cable was the best out there. He said he couldn't afford the prices all the box stores were charging. I told him I'd find him one. Now, every time I see him he has gone on about how much better everything is, picture quality, sound, deepness of the blacks...He is a happy man! I thank Steve Miller of Miller Electronics for offering a great deal on the cable. AND, I want to thank Amazon for allowing me to one stop shop for so many things at great prices.

Its all about bandwidth people. Yes, the signal is digital, sending binary code. However, the AMOUNT of code that the wire is capable of sending is the issue. For HDTV or an Xbox 360, any cheap old wire can handle the signal. However, for Blu-Ray players and the Playstation 3, there is substantially more (3x cable, 2x Xbox) bandwidth, and cheaper cables can't handle it. Some reviews have mentioned sound loss. Well thats because the cheap wire being used cant handle the HD audio transmitted. The same goes for the precise video signals. Data will be lost if the wire cant handle the bandwidth output from the transmitting device. Its really not rocket science.

All these line of cables are way overpriced and represent a real packaging nightmare. This company could be redefined as "The Monster of environmentally unfriendly packaging". I just bought six of their video cables. After unpackaging them (which was not a simple feat, due to their horribly hard and sharp-edged clam shells), I ended up with an amazing pile of hard plastic garbage.
