Mind if i ask you, how exactly you know that its pure waste of spending on Monster cable? You have bad experience with Monster cable before this? Any of your friends or fellow forumers informed you that Monster is hopeless? Belum cuba belum tau bro.. hehehe I think they work the same and only difference is PRICE. |

Regular Cables Regular Cables 2 QUOTE don't get hung about other cables that offer a lifetime guarantee, protecting you in case your cables are technologically obsolete in the future. If in a few years there are consumer video products that output higher-than-1080p video signals (an admittedly unlikely scenario), you can always buy another cheap $10 cable online that can handle more data. And you've still saved yourself $30 over that $50 cable in the store. Above is a comment from a web article. I do agree, Monster though has warranty, we do not know the lifetime of it. Even to a regular HDMI has no lifetime guarantee. I agree with the lot, that affordable HDMI cable can do wonders too.. |

i tried to search bout this matter but I couldn't find it. Maybe its a little bit off topic. But, evrytime I connect my laptop to my HDTV (HDTV to Receiver) my sound will be distorted. Even sometimes, it produces such very high frquency for a moment. What could be wrong? Is it my cable? Btw, I was playing MKV file. Any help?

Just like comparing FungKeong/Bata/Adidas/Reebok/Gucci footgear;
after 1Km they all feel the same. Branded HDMI show diff unless you have a 60in or larger display but then only minimal. Better spend the diff on more software lo.....my 2 sens worth. |

Now i realise that they resemble in terms of functionality |

But everybody here is taking Monster cable as benchmark.I have used Monster S-Video & personally fee that it can brings a decent improvement in analogue but doubt that in hdmi as most worldwide editors have said either you received the digital or you do not receive at all....but for more than 10m then it is recommendable to use branded ones. |
