| Bought these for my DVD player to output 480p as my player does not have HDMI. Noticed a difference immediately, and with a price like this for Monster, you can't go wrong. If you shop around, you don't have to spend much for good cables like these. |

| Great price on this cable. Just as good as the THX Ultra 800 without paying extra for the THX name. HUGE difference over S-video! Better than cheap cables too. Don't skimp on cables by buying cheap ones. If you can't see the difference, get glasses or better TV! Best cables w/o paying a fortune! |

| Several reviews mention the improvement when these cables to replace a composite (L/R audio + video) cable, or an S-video (multi-pinned plug). ALmost all of that improvement is due to the fact that these cable connection methods are completely different types in signal format and the TV uses different internal circuitry for each one. Virtually any S-video cable connection will give a better image than a composite type cable, and any component (individual R-G-B video) connection will be better than S-video. Cable brand has absolutely nothing to do with it. There may be some difference between one brand of component cable and another, but its almost always unnoticable. |

Do you own a 27 inch TV with a $27 DVD player? Don't bother. Do you own a $5000 amp, a $3000 DVD player, and a set of speakers that you might bury yourself in? Don't bother buying, unless you want to burn money. Monster may look pretty, and the performance of Monster vs. no name is certainly proven in the quantifiable scientific analysis...but your ear can't hear it.
Simply put, buy comparable cables with and without the Monster name and run a test with your ears. You will probably find that you can save yourself significant $ by purchasing equally constructed cabling without the Monster name... |

| This is a great video cable, though it's very spendy. Superior to composite & S Video. Monster classifies it as "ultimate performance". I'd say only DVI & HDMI, which are both digital, are better. I needed a 2M or 6.5' cable because the 1M was just too short for my needs. I looked at this one (90$) and Monster's new THX Ulta 1000 4' component cable(100$). They had equal features. The THX cable is better looking than this one, however when it came down to it I didn't want to spend 10 extra bucks on a cable that's 2.5' shorter! Now this cable isn't THX certified, but it is certified by Imaging Science Foundation. I typically recommend Monster Cable, I feel they are the leader in A/V cables. This is a great fit for a progressive scan DVD player and/or HDTV. Get the most out of what you paid for! Rock On. |

| These and all other brand cables from MC are all overpriced including these. I have a 20" JVC I'Art television and I have my DVD connected through component. I have used Monster Cable component cables and they put out pretty much the exact same picture as my newer PHILIPS brand component cables that I only had to pay about [$$$] or so for. The PHILIPS are also shielded and gold plated and all that good stuff. So buy these MC component cables if you dont care about price, but otherwise buy PHILIPS brand that are way cheaper and put out the same quality picture. |

| Recently bought a Analog Big Screen TV. Switched from S-Video to Component cables. There is a big difference. The picture looks more film like with Component cables. Do not hesitate to upgrade. Stay away from cheap Wally World brands. You get what you pay for. The S-Video cable I used was Monster Cable M1000 sv. |

ATTENTION: It is important to understand you must have a COMPONENT VIDEO ready TV and DVD player for this amazing Monster Cable to work.
The MV3CV-2M Monster Video 3 High-Resolution Component Video Cable 2 Meters in length is the BEST off the shelf product available. This gas filled double sheilded cable with duraflex jacket eliminates those ghost and brings the sharpest, most colorful and brightest picture possible to your screen A great value and a much needed cable for your COMPONENT VIDEO Home Theatre System.
Why COMPONENT VIDEO??? In a nutshell:
1). COMPONENT VIDEO is a three wire cable. (Y) - Luminance (Brightness), (Pb) Crominance (Color - Blue) and (Pr) Crominance (Color - Red).
2.) Provides a Cable with Digital (PROGRESSIVE SCAN) and Analog (INTERLACED) capability.By separating you Blue and Red Colors this provides a pure signal to the TV where it is combined through comb filters for the sharpest picture presentation. Results, the best picture available!!!! Monster Cables are the best value and provide outstanding results!! NOTE: The next level of video Excellence is moving to PROGRESSIVE SCAN see my SD-6200 review. |

| I purchased a Sony WEGA 27 inch tv. I took advantage of it's rear component input labeled video4. I connected my Sony DVP360 Dvd player. With dvd viewing, the movie Dinosaur, Bug's Life, Toy Story 1 and 2, and Vegas Vacation, the colors were very vibrant, details were dynamic, and the picture quality was very accurate in at least 480 lines of resolution. I have viewed these same movies on larger screen HDTV's such as the Pioneer Elite and was disappointed??? Glass picture tubes provide a more realistic picture. I can't imagine that I can do any better for my television than these cables. I am completely happy with dvd movie watching on my Sony WEGA with these Monster component 3 cables! |

| Before you shell out big bucks for these, ask yourself if it is really necessary. Because I am a sucker for perfection, I went out and purchased them. Did I see a HUGE improvement in picture quality compared to another brand of component video cable I was using? No. At least not on my 27" SONY WEGA tv. Okay, maybe the black levels are a bit better. I got these because I do believe better cables last a lot longer than cheaper-made ones. In addition, because I have so MANY cables running from my reciever, I figured cables with better jackets and good sheilding should cut back on video interference, producing better quality pictures. |
