Gold Digital Hdmi
Have you ever purchased the Monster brand of cables?
I know that I did when I was younger…I think I was 12-14 and I bought some for my new home theatre system…I didn’t know it was pretty much a scam.
Now I know better, but I’m surprised that since most signals are digital now, Monster is STILL pushing their cables as being superior, when in reality, the only thing they’re superior in is price, by 500-1,000% over their competitors. When I was recently shopping around for an HDMI cable, a pure digital signal carrier, a few brands sold 6 foot cables for around $8 on NewEgg…while the Monster cables were around $50-70. That is just ridiculous.
It’s too bad that people are fooled by gold plated terminals and the cool looking, thick plastic insulators on Monster cables…for digital cables, they pretty much either work or they don’t, whether it’s HDMI, digital coaxial or optical. And even for analog signals, the difference is extremely small for the extreme difference in price that you pay.
No, never.
Monster are almost as bad as Bose for overpriced stuff. They are a favourite with big-box store sales staff because the markup is very high. The quality is OK, but NOT better than that from some others that sell for less (e.g. Blue Jeans Cables — who make better HDMI cables at a fraction the cost of Monster).
