I wonder what frequency this will be based on. The current wireless video senders are 2.4ghz. Which wrecks havoc on wireless networks.

And yet in all of the whining, not one comment regarding Ultra Wideband - and its wireless implementation.

Gee, one might wonder if anyone here even knows what UWB is or how it works?

This site is always a learning opportunity - sorry, I meant a comedic opportunity to observe the pre-pubescent gnashing of teeth and the inability to evaluate market and technological developments.

Congrats fellows...LOL!

Monster is the biggest hyped up snake oil cable company on the planet. Best Buy is in bed with these losers and every non informed self proclaimed electronics aficionado from the suburbs thinks Monster actually gives you a better picture and sound than a $5.00 HDMI from eBay.

In some cases the cheap eBay cable performs better. They did a study with the best speaker cables Monster makes vs ........... coat hangers and asked audiophiles in a double blind test to identify the better sounding "cables"

More than half of them chose the coat hangers with speakers terminals on the ends than the super high end Monster cables. It was disclosed afterwards that they used the hangers for speaker wire.

There was a another study between $6000 cables and extension cords with the ends cut off. More than half chose the extension cords and were totally embarrased.

Anyone who (knowingly) buys the $114 Monster HDMI is a complete moron who needs a slap in the head.

You are totally correct. I purchase over 2 million feet of cable a year from one of the manufacturers for some of the Monster Cable lines. They agree that what they make is nothing special.

A cable they make and sell to Monster distribution for $2.00 will end up in a fancy package for $100.00 or more.

Monster has a high dollar rep and distribution system filled with lots of cash incentives to the retail salesperson and up the chain for selling this c*ap at highly inflated prices.

Being in the AV industry, I see all sorts of cables. I have a set of AudioQuest component cables that cost $165. I compared them against the ones Comcast gave me for free with the receiver.

There was considerable video noise with the AQ cables and the 8 foot too long Comcast ones looked perfect. I also terminate my own cables sometimes. I put a dual run of mini RGB in a freinds house. He bought the 100ft spool on eBay for $75.00.

I used some nice one-piece slip on connectors that guide the tiny solid copper core right into the center conductor pin. I was able to do 20 connectors in about ten minutes with a compression tool. The picture was flawless on both the HD DirecTV dish and his PS3/BD.

Anther guy told him to run 10 RG59's (R/G/B & L/R for audio X 2) at about a buck a foot (40ft X 2 runs), that's 400 worth of cable. He didn't know any better and was going to have the guy "order" the wire, even though the spools were right on the truck. It was Liberty RG59 cable at about 12 cents a foot. The connectors the guy suggested were about 6 bucks each x 20, which is another $120 without install.

The guy who was going to sell him the wire and install was so pissed off when he found out I told hime to order the spool from eBay, it was priceless. I gave him all the connectors for free just to spite the "install professional". We hung his 50" Panasonic in about ten minutes which saved him the $350 install fee the guy was going to charge. I know it was a side job and he was using all the company's wire and connectors.

He had an open unfinshed basement and I was able to snake the wires with a fiberglass rod from the AV rack to the TV in five minutes.

All in all this "AV pro" lost about $1000 due to me knowing what I'm doing. We celebrated with ice cold beer and a Chicago style thin crust and his wife adores me (now).

I agree completely. I just bought a 10ft HDMI cable off of monoprice.com 2 days ago for $4.58+ shipping. If anyone is ever looking for any type of cable, this is the best and cheapest place I have found.

I been burnt by Monster cable because of my own stupidity :(
'Do you want a hdmi cable with your TV sir?'
'Ah yes better do that thanks :)'
Didnt check the price until I got home, the equivelant of $120US.
I was that moron who needed the slap :(
Lesson learnt though

The only DVI cable I have ever seen fail was an overpriced single link Monster Cable.

I'm right there with you, bud. I prefer to make most of my own cables as well. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course, it helps to know how. :)

If it has the Monster name - It is over priced and is usually just a dressed up pig with lipstick from China.

well if someone buys a 2000+$ priced TV and dont bother to check out the quality of cables and such items , then they deserved to get ripped by the sales men, i mean come on! you spend 2k on a tv and you think that the properly placed fancy package next to the tv display says better image for 120$ of course to an untrained, non educated (about his purchase) will buy them in a heart beat and make the sales men his day, who is at fault here? someone who was too lazy to look up audio sites about products before dropping 2000$ or monster for making money? im not taking Monster's side by any chance, i also got my cables on ebay and very happy, im just saying compagnies are there to make money and they will find ways to do it, even if a 5$ product is better than there 120$ products, just need to educate yourself before on google which takes 5 minutes to save 115$
