I haven’t had the opportunity to use these cables. My electronics are Denon high-end, and be warned, they will not work with these cables (HDMI to DVI-D)

First of all the cable is very difficult to install, it’s rigid and not flexible.
After I connected my cable box and my LCD HDTV with this Monster Cable HDMI, my service provider (Time Warner Cable) told me that they don’t support HDMI, I should use the component cable that comes with the cable box. Well I already opend the box and it’s too late to return.
Every now and then I get a message on my TV saying: “YOU CAN NOT USE HDMI CALE, PLEASE USE THE COMPONENT CABLE TO WATCH TV.” I had to turn my TV off and on to get rid of that screen.
Some HD channels’ volumes are very low, I have to turn to the loudest in order to listen. Has it anything to do with the cable? Time Warner won’t care.
The sales guys from Circuit City said it’s must to get bla bla bla in order to watch best High Definition channels, this HDMI cable is one of the recommendations. I’m too naive to trust them.
I should have researched more before making a purchase. I don’t like the cable at all, sooner it’ll destroy either port–the cable or the TV.

First off…I want to state that I’m giving this 3 Stars because Monster Cables are still way over priced. Secondly…electronics guy is completely wrong. There is not and never will be ANY Analog involved in a Digital Signal. NO Analog Waves and No Analog anything. It is a Digital Signal…1’s and 0’s. That’s it! Nothing more to discuss.
Now to address the problem. Or what is resolved by using a Monster Cable. Copper is susceptible to Signal Degradation. That is where a high quality copper cable comes into play. Compare it to Copper Ethernet. It is susceptible to loss just as any copper cable is. Monster builds a higher quality cable that can reduce the problems caused by outside interference as well as general loss found as the electrical signal travels across a copper cable. Compare it to Shielded Copper Ethernet and Cable twists per inch.
Fiber Optics are not susceptible to outside interference as Copper Cables are and the Light Pulses travel much more easily without loss over Fiber Optics than Electrical Pulses do over Copper.
I’m not going to get into the science of it all here, but my point is that what we’re discussing should be Copper vs. Fiber not Analog vs Digital. And please don’t believe Digital uses Analog waves….if it did it would be called Analog. 0’s or 1’s. That’s all!

What “high bitrates” are we talking about here? Full HD video streams are perhaps 20MB/s max, including audio. Standard Cat5E does over 100MB/s easily. Yes, attenuation, crosstalk, signal integrity all matter…at high frequencies and bitrates. HDMI is not exactly what one would call a “serious workload”.
Expensive HDMI cables will NOT improve your PQ. Bad HDMI cable will display a “sparkle” effect, or audio dropouts (signal loss), but this is almost unheard of at the 1M range!!!
There are many high quality brands that are 2x-4x cheaper than Monster..Try Blue Jeans cable for example.
Analog is a completely different story…but even there, there is plenty of “snake oil” being sold
