User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Digital vs Analog
Regarding your decision whether to drop $300 on an 8 foot cable for a digital signal… it really will not make a difference. With a digital signal, the receiving end only has to tell the difference between ON and OFF – if the signal comes over as 4.9v instead of 5v; or varies a little; it makes literally absolutely 0 difference in picture quality as it’s still interpreted correctly as a 1 or a 0; and then the bits are assembled into a visual image. At the point where the receiver is getting confused between an ON and an OFF signal over an 8ft cable run… is the point where you should be checking that your dog is not chewing on your cable. (And not that your cable is not “nitrogen bubble micro-injected” or doesn’t have “twin neuro-demagnatronizing halon super-cores”)
5 Stars Killer Monster Cable
Monster Cable has always made excellent quality products and this one is no exception. Top quality at a reasonable price.
1 Star Don’t waste your money on this cable!
I paid 108.00 for the 4ft. version of this cable at Best Buy. Bought my next HDMI cable off of Amazon for 6 bucks. (Not Monster of course) I can see no difference in the picture or sound quality. Test it for yourself, you be the judge. Why waste your money>
5 Stars Great Price
These cables are $129.99 at Best Buy. They are now $39.77 from Amazon.com! You have to be nuts or have money to burn to pay a $130 for an 8 foot hunk of shielded cable and 2 connectors! Monster must have spectacular gross margins.
1 Star Not a Bonded, 1.3 HDMI Cable
After reading some of the reviews on this item, I had to drop my $.02 There is currently only 1 bonded, certified 1.3 HDMI cable in the world, at the moment. The brand is Belden, not Belkin, and I have zero affiliation and I do not sell any audio/video gear either. I simply want the best cable at the best price to maximize my video and audio components.
Google the brand and you’ll find out Belden cable is not Chinese made, but made in the US. And when read through the volumes of technical information on the cable, you’ll come to a point where you’ll either purchase one or not. But compare the cost of a true audio/video-phile cable and a mass marketed brand like Monster, and ask yourself why would you pay more for and get less.
