Monster MC700HD-2M Reviews

Outstanding picture quality!

The picture quality of our Samsung TV is incredible with the HDMI cables purchased through Amazon (Amazon's price was about $70 less than at the electronics store where we purchased the TV)

Good Cable

I have this cable and the premium one Monster offers thats about $80 a meter. I can't tell the difference and I have a very high quality TV. Even at 120Hz there is no difference.

Complete Waste Of Money Ripoff-Total Scam!! Zero Stars!!

Please! Please! Please! Don't be a total "Dumas" and believe the in-store Sales-Hole hyping these over-priced, do nothing extra cables!! These shameless in-store thieves know that you'll be spending some serious coin on your new flat-panel, so whats another hundred+ for some bogus cable if you think you'll be getting a better picture?? NOT!! It's common knowledge by those in-the-know, that measureable lab tests using an oscilloscope show ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in signal, picture or audio quality between these cables and the ten buck or less generic brand cables on Amazon.com, [...] etc. This was both professionally measured as well as being demonstrated by an engineer on a recent expose' on FOX13 News in Tampa, FL. Keep in mind that all this cable has to do is transfer data only; (not high power, like a loud speaker) so any reasonably good conductor would work just fine just to transmit a data signal. So, either it works or doesn't work at all - there is NO middle ground!! Furthermore, if the cable really made that much of a difference, don't you think that the Manufacturer would either include the cable in the box or mention that in the set-up instructions?? I have tried several brands of HDMI cables, doing brand-blind tests and could never see or hear any difference of any kind!! EVER!! Don't be a total "Dumas" and fall for the BS!! I hope this clears up any myths regarding so called "high end" cables. Don't believe me??? Humor me; and try it yourself!! You'll be glad you did... use the money you save to buy some nice Blu-Ray movies instead!! Bob-OH! OUT!!!

After three days I discovered the item was defective. Unfortunately the original packaging was discarded and vendor charged me a 10% restocking fee.

More expensive does not mean better.

Pros: Sturdy and insulated, delivers the most consistent image/video quality.

Cons: Pricey in the extreme and the company makes up the specs. Or rather the specifications are accurate but they mean even less than nothing to Video quality.

Never buy an HDMI cable that is not on sale. Nearly all of the information in the product description is made up.

For example if the output is 12 bit color and the display supports 12 bit color a cable rated 8 bit is not going to matter it will have no choice but to transfer 12 bit. Transfer rate would only matter on a cable longer than 20 feet and video streaming HD at thrice the density of Blu-ray, 6 feet and it matter's not.

An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable, save your money.
