Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Monster has built its business on slick marketing. There's typically nothing wrong with the cables they sell, but there's nothing about them that justifies the exorbitant prices asked. The cable is not made in the U.S. It's made in China. And Monster do not provide certificates of performance for their cables. HDMI cables can be certified for Category 1 or Category 2 compliance, and the certification must be made at a specific cable length. Monster only states (without independent verification) that its cables achieve certain bandwidths (which they mislabel as "speed"), but these statements are completely meaningless without specifying the length of cable and without independent testing. The truth is, a 6 foot HDMI cable that costs $3 is going to provide the same reliable bandwidth transmission as a $100 Monster HDMI cable. And if you need a longer cable then you need specific certification of bandwidth at the length you use. For such purposes, you can get a 15 foot cable certified to maximum HDMI bandwidth (Category 2) for $35. And for the price that Monster wants for this 13 foot cable, you can get a cable certified to Category 2 bandwidth that is 40 feet long. If you want to educate yourself about the technical details of HDMI cables, check the white papers on HDMI at blue jeans cable.
