Nominal Improvement that costs a fortune
Started Mar 19, 2006
Strengths: Supplies great DVI cable quality video to your HDTV. Supposedly the best on the market.
Weaknesses: Pricey. Nominal video improvement.
I bought this cable to attach the HTPC to my 32" LCD Syntax Olevia. When I upgraded the video connection from the usual 15 pin VGA connection to a generic DVI (it came with an old LCD monitor of mine) cable, I could clearly see the picture becoming more saturated / colorful without changing any other settings.
Upgrading further from my generic DVI cable to this one, however, it was difficult to see the improvement. I know BestBuy has a Monster Cable demo setup which shows the same movie on 2 same TVs played from the same DVD player, with only the cables being different. There it's very easy to see the difference, but now I'm suspicious about their setup.
Furthermore, I'm sure with some more HDTV recalibration, I would've achieved the same results. Therefore at $100 for a 6.6' video cable, I wouldn't recommend the purchase unless you have cash to spare.
