Comments on: If you are buying an HDTV don’t pay ridiculous prices for cables. http://xeai.com/public/archives/56 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:51:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: robert http://xeai.com/public/archives/56/comment-page-1#comment-7 robert Sat, 24 Nov 2007 19:50:25 +0000 http://xeai.com/public/2007/11/23/if-you-are-buying-an-hdtv-dont-pay-ridiculous-prices-for-cables/#comment-7 <blockquote>It’s been scientifically/electrically proven that monster cables are better than normal cables.

It’s been scientifically/electrically proven that monster cables are better than normal cables. I know mentally that’s hard to swallow, but it’s the truth.

I know mentally that's hard to swallow, but it's the truth. Now, a 6' apple cable (or generic), let's say that's $20, versus the $150 monster cable, over such a short distance the generic cable is still easily in spec at 1080p, when you get to 12', or 50', that's when the monster cable's quality comes in, the apple cable (or generic) in this case will not be able to pass a 1080p signal, (there are some that do, but most won't). What's very crucial is that the 6' and 12' monster cables will also pass a 1440p signal within spec. What you're protecting against when you buy super expensive cables is future HD and HDMI specs. Additionally, obviously you can get a longer cable run (if you need it) let's say for a wall or ceiling mount projector. The average consumer connecting their amplifier or PS3 or 360 to the TV only needs a $20 6' cable, this is absolutely true.
