| Title says it all. Very well made cable but for my need I should have purchased it in the 2 meter length. |

| I'm sure this cable is very high quality, but c'mon design guys, get a brain. I had to take a knife to it in order to get it to fit into the dvi port on my samsung 22" monitor. The plastic surrounding the metal dvi connector is too wide to fit past the available space on my monitor. Then, my fingers barely had room to turn the tightening screws...it sure would have helped it they hadn't gone for the fancy gold colored screws and had just used a simple plastic tightener that had slots in the ends for a screwdriver like most cable tighteners. Also, as usual with Monster products, hugely overpriced. |

You'd certainly expect a monster cable to be well built and carry the signal well, and it does this nicely. I'm carrying a DVI signal to a 37" inch LCD screen over 4 feet with no loss of signal. It really takes PC viewing to a new level.
My only complaint is the size of the adaptor. It is so large, it is difficult to slot into the video card of my desktop PC, almost to the point where I couldn't use it. I have had to unscrew the mount of my video card and bend it out of place to make it fit. There's a difference between being well built and being bulky for the sake of it. I slimmer mount in future designs would make this a perfect cable. |

"Great for my PC's LCD" | 2007-01-09 |

| I've been using this cable for over a month and love it. True that there isn't much difference between different grades of material when using DVI, but there is some. Just about the only noticable difference was in screen text. The text was good before, but now it's actually noticeably sharper. Would it be worth it for somebody that already is using a DVI cable? Probably not. It would however be an excellent choice for one that has an LCD monitor that did not come with a DVI cable. |

| It's a cable, nothing fancy or spectacular--unless you want all that money you spent on the HD TV and the HD DVD player to be for nothing. This is the link that gets the best out of your input source. Two HD connection standards have slugged it out and it looks like the other one (HDMI) is winning. But if your TV only has a DVI connection you need this cable. Monster Cable is well known for quality and it has the heft to prove its worth. Heavier cable means lower signal loss from source to receiver; that means more of the high definition programming is going to end up on the screen. It's just a cable, but you won't find a better one. |

"Great value, awesome picture quality" | 2006-11-10 |

| I bought this cable to use in conjunction with a new LG brand L1932TQ 19" flat panel monitor. I could not be happier with my purchase. The picture quality is vastly improved over the analog cable I had before. The cord is also very solidly constructed and is long enough to have quite a bit of extra length if I ever need to move my monitor for anything. I would buy this product again in a heartbeat, especially at the low price I paid on Amazon. |

| Monster Cable is a complete rip off. DVI is a digital (and lossless) transfer of information. You will get the exact same quality from a 20 dollar generic DVI cable. Buy the 6 foot Belkin DVI cable instead. You will pay 1/4 the price and get a 100% identical picture. |

| I gave it 5 stars because I don't own it an wanted to be fair,but I do own cabletogo 2m dvi cable and it's a spectacular picture I have on my toshiba 30hf83 30" hdtv which is slightly better than the component I had hooked up earlier.My point is the cabletogo I believe is under $15dls and has a higher data transmission rate which I believe is above 9mbps dual link and the monster above 5mbps,so it's just something to think about,why waste $99dls. |

| I have a fairly new HDTV system I bought back in January. I have a JVC 56" rear projection HDTV and am getting my HDTV source from Insight Cable through a Motorola HDTV receiver. I experimented with component video connections when I first bought the TV but later tried the Monster Cable DVI400. Wow what a difference! DVI is the ONLY way to hook up HDTV in my opinion. The colors are brighter and pictures are sharper. Like all Monster Cable products this is made of very high quality materials and it looks nice too. I cannot believe some of the notes I have seen on the internet from people that feel the component video connection is better. The quality of the DVI connection is so superior that my cable company has decided to turn off the DVI output on my cable box. They claim the quality is so good that pirates could make copies of movies through the connection! They claim that this is a new FCC law even! |
