Product Description
Serious home theatre isn't just about watching movies - it's about experiencing them. Achieving the best possible picture and sound means using the most advanced, highest definition cable. For Monster Cable, that meant making the best even better. The main criteria was performance - to create the world's highest quality, most advanced line of home theatre cable. So, Monster joined forces with THX, the leader in audio/video quality assurance programs for select movie theatres, home theatre components, and DVDs. And a new breed of ultra performance home theatre cable was born. Although Component Video is the highest quality video connection available, not all TVs have Component Video inputs. If your TV doesn't, then use S-Video, the next best thing. Remember, S-Video cable doesn't come with the TV. Monster's Ultra Series Component Video is the most advanced cable of its kind, outperforming high quality S-Video. The video signal is separated into three precision channels of video information for enhanced richness and color accuracy that's second to none. Monster's advanced video technologies including nitrogen gas-injected dielectric insulation and silver content solder connections work together to deliver the clearest, sharpest, picture possible with maximum color saturation and ultra-low attenuation. So, whether you're watching your favorite DVD or enjoying a TV program in High Definition, Monster's Ultra Component Video will deliver the sharpest, most detailed picture with vibrant natural color.

 Better Value Than Many Other Cables May 24, 2006

I have been involved in electronics for more than 25 years and have been building (and rebuilding) my home theater for most of my adult life.
It has been disconcerting at best to watch the price of interconnect cables and speaker cable go continously higher to the point of absolute farce.
With that said, different cables provide different results and some cables can actually degrade your signal.
My first component cable was made of a hodge podge of various cables ranging from some stuff I had laying around to some fairly esoteric pieces. Over several testing sessions and several A/B comparisons, an old, thick, shielded Radio Shack A/V cable yeilded the best results on my 65" Mitsubishi TV. The white/Red/yellow connectors didn't match up with the RGB inputs but it handled the 75-OHM current demand just fine. Over the years I have tried and upgraded many cables in my ever growing home theater system but I have had trouble finding anything that equaled the performance of my trusty old RS cable. The run, due to the size of the TV, is always at least 6' and the price of component cables at that length is rather high. Even RS has caught on and you can't get that old cable I have for less than $50 these days. I also don't think it's quite the caliber either. I was able to obtain an Audioquest cable that was designed and looked very nice for the job but it actually degraded the picture and I ended up giving it to a friend.
Obviously, if your screen is smaller than mine, you'll be able to get away with cables of lesser quality and your picture will probably be fine. When you start blowing the picture up beyond a certain point, it will reveal more and more faults that are hidden by a smaller screen.
I have the 8' version of the Monster THX 1000 cable and it does it's job. It is the equal of anything I have tried and it looks excellent and is well made. Amazon is charging an extremely competitive price and yes, it still is too much for a cable, but given the reality of the situation, this is about as good as it gets.
HUGE DIFFERENCE !!!!!!! April 30, 2006

YES THESE CABLES ARE AMAZING ONLY IF YOU GET FULL POWER AT ALL TIMES TO YOUR DVD PLAYER AND TV.IF YOU HAVE ANY POWER SAGS IN YOUR HOME THE DVD IMAGE WILL APPEAR FLICKERING AND HAZY AND YOU LOSE ALOT OF DETAIL.BUT LIKE AT NIGHT WHEN I WOULD USE THEM AROUND 2 IN THE MORNING WHEN IM ABLE TO SUCK ALL THE POWER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE IMAGE WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I SENT THEM BACK AND STUCK WITH MY MONSTER STANDARD CABLES WHICH LOOK GREAT ALL THE TIME.
