| Needed a good cable run behind the wall, works great, no problems yet. Cost too much anywhere else. |

"Beautiful picture quality!" | 2008-02-27 |

I got these component cables to upgrade my A/V system upon the arrival of my brand new 37" Sharp Aquos and I must say that they are very well worth the price tag. The image difference in my DVD player went from washed out and faded (using composite) to a vivid array of colors and improved contrast.
The cables are very sturdy and the connectors are color coded and ergonomically designed for comfortable gripping while connecting them to your TV and receiver or output device. Monster quality is real and I am sticking to this brand for all my analog cable needs (where you really need shielding, gold plating and sturdy construction to avoid signal loss).
My TV also has HDMI input also. I have hooked up my computer screen to the HDMI input and I must say that as far as color luminance and brilliance these component cables can rival HDMI. |

"TERRIBLE FIT" | 2008-02-26 |

| The connectors on these cables are WAY TOO THICK!!! They really don't fit on the component jacks on my BRAND NEW SAMSUNG LCD TV OR my DVD player! I had to force them on, it made horrific crunching sounds, and I probably damaged my equipment from pushing so hard on the jacks and spreading them apart because of the girth of these things. As you can see in the above pic, they can't fit side by side, so the jacks are forced to spread apart. I have really never been so angry, and I feel like suing monster. Oh yeah, and THE PICTURE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE! My S-video looked much better, now I have interference lines. Do not go with Monster, they are an outrageous joke. |

| Monster cables always have nice looking, usually more expensive, but this one has resonable price, quality/price rate is good. |

"No improvement for SD TV" | 2008-01-17 |

| I bought these cables thinking there would be some sort of improvement over the normal A/V cable where the is only 1 cable for video and 2 for audio. I have a 46" Samsung, but currently I am only watching Standard Definition. Maybe these cables do their job for HD, but there they are no better than the cheap A/V. This also could be from the signal or box from Charter. Ill have to try it with my DVD player and see if there is a difference. |

I tried three different component video cables to hook my DVD player to my HDTV: standard RCA composite video cables, Sony component video cables, and Monster component video cables. Everything but the Monster component video cables gave me a garbled picture or no picture at all. The Monster component vide cables gave me a beautiful clear picture.
I discovered the problem - if you run a component video cable next to any other type of cable (such as a power cable, stereo speaker cable, etc...), the other cables interfere with the component video cable. Only the Monster cables have enough shielding to overcome the interference.
So if you can run your component video cables completely separate from all other cables, then you can probably use a cheaper component video cable and get a great picture. However, if your setup is like mine and all of your cables run together through the same hole in the back of your entertainment center, you need a Monster cable to overcome the interference. |

| After considerable on-line research, I bought these Monster component cables for our new HDTV (a Sony LCD). I first connected them from our DVD player to the TV but couldn't see any noticeable improvement over the component cables provided by Comcast (when we ordered the HD cable box). I next connected the Monster cables from the HD cable box to the HDTV and again did not see any noticeable improvement over the Comcast component cables. We got a great result with both DVDs and HDTV channels using the Comcast cables. So I ended up returning the Monster cables to Amazon. |

The Monster Cable THX V100 CV-8 Component Video Cables are excellent connectors for DVD to Component inputs on HD and RGB (Red, Green, Blue component) capability TV sets. These cables are durable and deliver the best possible signal to your set. Any TV with Component inputs is going to give you a noticeably better picture than with Composite or S-Video inputs but the edge with these cables is their high-density double shielding and heavy gold plated RCA connectors, delivering a cleaner sand purer signal.
