Are Monster HDMI Cables Really Worth The Money?
Reader Question: Is it really worth getting a high-end HDMI cable from Monster? And, should I be paying attention to the speeds, like: 700, 800, 1000HD and such?
Answer: The quality of the HDMI Cables definitely matter. Especially if you have a Blu-Ray, Xbox 360 or a Sony Playstation 3 connected to your HDTV.
The reason Monster HDMI Cables have the different ratings (speeds) on their cables are because different cables are built to handle different throughput, e.g. higher resolution, higher bit rate video, uncompressed audio (multi-channel) etc.
Just remember, your Home Theater system is only as good as the worst component you have connected. In other words, if you have cheap or low-quality compoents a good quality cable will do little…
By the way, if you choose to invest in a quality cable, I would stay away from chain stores as they badly mark up the cables.
