Comment: I have a $4 dollar cable that works and displays on my Insignia 1080i just as good, if not better than this waste of money. I'm an idiot for buying this, you don't have to be. You've been warned, now save your money.

Comment: $130 retail for this? For that price it better deliver the picture and pop me the popcorn!
I recently bought three 2M HDMI cables from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002L5R78) and they work just as well as this piece of trash from Monster. The cables were less than $5 including shipping!
Even if my $5 cable goes bad or drops the signal I could buy another 26 cables and STILL be cheaper than this seriously overpriced piece of trash.

Comment: Digital is digital. There is nothing magic about this cable except that it is overpriced.

Comment: As a EE senior at Georgia Tech, my class is required to participate in a senior design project. My friend's group did their project in transmitting HD video feeds for Tech's long-distance education program. As part of their project, they investigated about 6 different HDMI cables (ranging from the cheap cables from another seller to the pricier Monster cables), to find the best one.
This wasn't a bunch of kids watching HDTV for a while to see which cabled looked best. This was a scientific test performed with the strictest standards, under the watchful eyes of a Georgia Tech research professor. They hooked up one end of each cable to a PS3 and the other end to their lab's diagnostic tools. Blu-Ray discs of Planet Earth (among others) were used as the benchmark. In another round of testing, an HDMI test signal from a lab computer was transmitted and analyzed. After a through investigation, they reached their conclusion: there is NO difference.
Unlike analog audio/video (where poor quality conducting materials could affect quality), HDMI cables transmit digital data. These cables are literally transmitting zeros and ones. It doesn't matter if you use a five buck cable from Monoprice or a hundred buck cable from Monster, the end result will be EXACTLY the same. Please take some time and google for Monster cable reviews. Monster counts on hype and marketing to sell their products to gullible shoppers.
Please look at the Wikipedia article, it supports the following with proper references:
"Various reviews have reported that listeners and viewers are unable to tell a difference between substantially higher-priced Monster cables and inexpensive cables[2][3][4] especially for cables which carry digital signals such as HDMI cables.[5] In one experiment, audiophile listeners could not distinguish between short Monster cables and ordinary coat hangers.[6] Another reviewer concluded that "16-gauge lamp cord and Monster [speaker] cable are indistinguishable from each other with music."[7]"
Apart from the technical aspect, there are also moral issues. Monster is a bad company. They try to squeeze money out of honest mom-and-pop American companies by burying them in litigation (please refer to Wikipedia article). Most of these companies can't afford the litigation and usually give up. Is this how we want American businesses to behave?
Therefore, I urge you to do some research on Google. There are many useful articles on Blue Jeans Cable (a company that manufactures cables right here in the United States). Don't get swindled by Monster's marketing, it is nothing more than hogwash.

Comment: Don't be a sucker. Monster is an evil, litigious company, and their products have been proven to be no more effective than a wire hanger. STAY AWAY!
