QUOTE(SyokVPN @ Feb 2 2010, 11:34 PM) digital signals are weak. if the cable quality is really bad, it will change to 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 making the video/audio slightly distorted... but... it is the worst case scenario... usually the cable don't really matter much since the cable is not long .... even for the those analog speaker cables you can just buy normal wires to replace them.... it makes very little different (almost unnoticeable by untrained ears) instead of gold coated super expansive cable. Can you provide me link for further read up about the 0's & 1's. Kinda of interesting topic this is..

QUOTE(SyokVPN @ Feb 4 2010, 05:28 PM) It is very unlikely that a large group of data is being corrupted during the transfer, usually happens when the cable became really old or rusty where the electric signal need to go thru high resistance wires. A new HDMI cable (even the cheapest one) shouldn't give you any visible flaws. Finding flaws with HDMI is like searching for a needle in a haystack (unless you're crazy enough to buy a monster cable just to compare the barely visible flaws). Further more even a monster cable cant guarantee that the video will be error free... maybe just 0.1% better. It is all over the internet... i cant remember exactly where i read the info... since i'm from computer science background... thats common sense to me... Well, i'll look around then..thanks..

I have a problem,
Situation 1
i tried using Monster1000HD on Toshiba Regza AV500E HD Ready plugged to Sony BDP S-360 Blu ray player, it does not work.
Situation 2
I tried plugged in Monster1000HD with my Astro Beyond to my ACER H233H FULL HD LCD monitor it works perfectly.
Situation 3
I plugged in Pioneer HDMI cable to Toshiba Regza AV500E to Sony BD player as mentioned above it works.
Situation 4
I plugged Pioneer HDMI to Acer H233H FHD LCD it works.
Now i do not understand why the Monster cable does not fit the bill for Sony BDP S-360 BD player?
Can someone shed some light..
Cheers..

QUOTE(arremie @ Mar 3 2010, 04:05 PM) I have 3 of those and to be honest it doesn't cost a fortune  Like I told u just compare the jack (is that what u call it?) between Monster and ur other cable that works with S360. See if it's the same length (not the cable but the jack). If Monster is shorter that could be ur problem with S360 same like what I'm facing with my WDTV. Only want long long one don't one short short one  Ah si, understood amigo, gracias ..

QUOTE(smsseah5 @ Mar 5 2010, 09:23 AM) Only for those people they don afford to buy...then they like to mention "no difference". in fact some of them never tried themselves. It just sounds once u not able to get something, then u will give negative feedback on that to comfort urself. Dont get them wrong, i assume they are not trying to comfort themselves by just saying "no differences". There are differences , but it depends whether we want to spend on the sort of cable that we are looking for. If its not affordable, then options are wide and broad, we can look for alternatives. Affordable or not affordable is not an issue , its purely personal preferences.. This post has been edited by sKyWiR3pT3lTd: Mar 5 2010, 09:40 AM

QUOTE(ianho @ Mar 21 2010, 08:57 PM)  I'm using Monster Cable oso I say no diff la. It's not about can or cannot afford. My PS3 was using a no brand HDMI cable. I swap to my Monster Cable oso no diff. For audio n speaker cables then yes there's a difference. Im using Monster too, before this i was using a normal in box from LCD monitor. Monster made no difference..Totally agree with ianho

QUOTE(DigitalTech @ Mar 22 2010, 10:40 AM) It's similar to coke pricing. You buy coke from giant, it's RM1, you buy from hotel, you pay RM6. So, do your survey around to get the best deal. Its rarely someone has the exact good deal for Monster cables..
