"Very Tight Fit." | 2009-03-09 |

We bought 2 sets of these for our girls' PS2. While it's true the quality is greatly enhanced with the use of these cables, that's only a true story if you can actually get them on. The cables fit so tightly, we thought we may break the PS2.
Be aware that you will have to be able to bench about 250lbs if you purchase these cables.

| This product does exactly what it advertises. I purchased an HDTV and wanted to enjoy the video upgrade by using the 3 video and 2 audio cable connection. The results were immediate and impressive. The picture quality increased at least threefold and the clarity is amazing. This product is worth every penny. |

"PS2 can look great on HDTV with these" | 2008-10-23 |

| I have a PS3 and a HDTV, but I keep my PS2 active and included in my AV setup. I was using the stock PS2 cable, but could not use the progressive scan feature available in many PS2 games. Seems the composite connections won't support prog. scan (at least on my set), and the difference is big on a HDTV. These cables did the trick! Very high quality, and very long as well. Running your PS3 in component cleans up the picture, and being able to use the progressive scan makes it look even better. If you use your PS2, get these before they disappear forever. |

| Have a ps2 with an lcd tv recently purchased, first thing I noticed was how crappy the ps2 looked with the new lcd, red the reviews for the monster component cable, it cost $30 with shipping included, I hooked it up to the playstation and was blown away at how much better the game looked, much better grafics and depth of color than the standard tv set I had, all I have to say is trust the customer reviews. |

I have a Samsung 46" HDTV. With the standard composite Playstation 2 cable, resolution is simply very poor. With this component cable, resolution is noticeably improved. It is a worthwhile improvement.
I purchased this version as it was actually less expensive at the time than the 3 cable component version (that version doesn't include analog sound, this version does). I have a digital connection from my PS2 to my home theater, which does provide clearer sound than using this cable. But, if you don't have the capability for digital audio, this cable will still provide more than adequate sound.
When I purchased this cable it was priced competitively, meaning more than the really cheap cables but on par with the other quality cables. Browse Amazon and you'll see what I mean: half the cables are very cheap (thin cable, flimsy looking connector) and the other half are "quality" (thicker cable, better quality connector). I think the cheap cables will mostly work, but there will probably be a slightly noticeable quality difference between the two. The difference between a "quality" cable from XYZ brand, however, and a "premium" cable from Monster, is all in the marketing.
Like I said, I bought this cable because it was priced competitively to the other quality products at the time I purchased. I've noticed the price seems to swing wildly (as I'm writing this review, it's 50% higher than when I bought it). With that said, if the price is right, you can't go wrong with this. If it's dramatically more expensive than other cables that look identical, either wait or buy one that looks well made and has good reviews. Wrapping rubber around a wire isn't exactly rocket science (the real rocket science is in building a brand name to convince someone to pay 50% more for a difference they can't even notice). |
