Just goes to show who makes pennies

Those $60 cables provide better quality picture and are more doorable.

Rocketfish for the win

I bought them when I was building my home theater system. My equipment ran me nearly 15 grand so WTF do I look like buying frail 99 cent monoprice cables when im dealing with high end electronics?

If you have one of those cheap theatre in a box joints, then enjoy your cheap cables fam. When you're ready to upgrade your hardware then holler at me.

When it comes to hdmi cables, GPS is very important. Monster gets all their wires ISF certified and places the specs all on thier box. The reason that people can't see the difference in their picture is the fact that the tv is probably not really good enough to harvest all the capabilities the wire carries from the source.

Chances are if a salesperson put the monster HDMI cable and the no name brand in front of you and told you that you can have either one for the same price, you would probably take the Monster one.

The best question to ask yourself is "how important is picture quality to you"? chances are if you feel it is very important, then you probably are the customer that will shell out the extra few hundred to get the higher performing tv models. If you are that customer, then you will see the value in getting a monster HDMI cable.

Nope, I got friends who are Electrical Engineers that specialize in DSP (digitial signal processing) working for military contractors building fukking missles bruh. You may get a better quality "cable" (a la thicker cable and shielding) but there is NOTHING in the signal that is different with a cheaper priced cable.

The digital 1s and 0s are no different in a cheaper monoprice than a rocketfish or monster cable :rudy:

Nice try though....:comeon:

Im saying is there any item out there that has a bigger in store markup than HDMI cables? I never paid more than 2$ for one but they got em for like 60-70 in the store. One of the biggest scams out there

The Truth About Monster Cable - Grand Finale (Part III)

quote from article:
"The only people who should buy Monster cable are people who light cigars with Benjamins. Fortunately for Monster, there are plenty of those people. They're not even suckers, they are just rich as hell, and want the best. This testing did not prove that Monster is not the best. It just proved that the best is, for the most part, unnecessary."
