Monster MV2CV-1M Component Video Cables (1 meter) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

good cables even if a they are not very flexible.

I have good components, some of which don't have HDMI. So, I needed high quality componenet video cables. I got these, and it is hard to imagine better performance--even from HDMI. I run these cables from my DirecTV DVR to my AV Receiver. Another (longer) set runs from the Receiver to the wide-screen TV. The picture is sharp. I initially didn't get one of the connections pushed all the way onto the female end, and it didn't work. So, I pushed hard to get it on there, and it worked fine. These are tight (that's a good thing, since you don't want loose connections). Just push hard to get them on good, and they will work great.

I have a Vizio 42" plasma that was connect to my HD DVD and H20 Directv dish via an HDMI cable. My HDMI connection broke (long story)so I had these Monster component cables lying around and I connected them. These cable don't do the job. The picture now has lots of noise and grainy and is simply not as smooth as with a Acoustic Reasearch HDMI cable.

These cords work great for a heated snowmobile helmet. The original cord for my helemet was plastic coated in metal and are prone to breaking These ones are made of real metal sturdy design.

Just what I wanted

I have a Sony 36" Vega and a Sony DVD player that were hooked up with RCA cables. I got a nature DVD and it was pretty good with the RCA cables. I purchased the component cables and the picture got even better, it was AMAZING. I was slow to purchase the component cable but have not regreted getting them, you can really tell the difference. They are worth the price.
