Customer Reviews for Monster Cable MVSV2-1M High-Resolution S-Video Cable (1 Meter)

Improved picture, but lost sound

Produced a better picture from my DVD player, but after 30 days the sound went (?). TV's sound is fine on it's own, and DVD works fine with composite cables, sound and picture. So it has to be the cable. I don't know if this happens to cables, but I e-mailed the seller asking and have thus far received no reply. I bought it because it was offered on Amazon, whom I trust, and the price was great ($5.95 + S&H). But I guess you get what you pay for!

monster cables can't be beat

These cables are worth the extra money, don't waste your time getting anything else. I use this cable to connect my dish to my TV and the picture is similar to my component connection from my DVD player. Sharp picture and vibrant color, don't bother with any other product...period.

What's all the fuss about?

Now and then I try a Monster product just to see if they've improved or reverted back to their higher quality of 15 or so years ago. This s-video (all Monster s-video cables have the same 30-ohm internal wire, regardless of price, and are not 75-ohm NTSC standard) makes a cheap tv with image brown-out look a little juicier -- but on better tv's the image is too red, skin tones are off, grays are muddy, blacks are blocked up and below valid YUV levels, skin tones and shadows bristle with cyan blotches. Not too bad on a good CRT tv but looks dreadful on LCD's, none of which have accurate color to begin with. All colors thru this wire have an unrealistic candy-cane look. If this is your preference, by all means spend your $$$. AR-ProII and Belden make much better s-video wire. Be careful with Monster's plugs: the pins break easily, and the fit is way too tight.

Great

The cable works great.. I haven't compared it with other brands, I've always used Monster... but you won't miss with this one.

Monster Cable

I dont like monster cable,forgive me in saying if you just have avcr, or dvd connecting to your tv and go with monsters highestgrade cable thats ok.another thing with monster cables i dont like is, you push your monster cable on the back of your dvd player,and it is locked on you some times just about have to usechannel lock plyers to get them off.now monster might say that this is a locking cable nothing do it. but any ways if you havebought monster and dont like the locking on the cable,you can take a 30 carbine shell that has been fired (meaning no bullet)and spread the interconnects on both sides then you can get themcables off with out messing up your dvd.now someone was talkingabout (TRIBUTARIES CABLE) you can buy tributaries cheaper thanmonster,you buy stright from factory and it can be costly.find dealer that buys cable from tributaries and makes the cableany size you want.look on the auction sites.i also like (D H LABS) and you can buy the cable off them, and build yourself.
