Monster Cable

Our take on the Monster 1000HD

Make sure you're getting the best possible picture and sound with your high-definition home theater gear. Monster Cable's 1000HD Series HDMI cables can transfer digital signals at ultra-high speeds, for passing flawless HD video and multichannel audio. They even come with Monster's impressive "Cable for Life" performance guarantee: if their performance capabilities are ever exceeded by future generations of HDMI, Monster will replace these cables at no charge.

Full performance from your best A/V sources
1000HD Series cables can handle today's highest-bandwidth audio and video signals with capacity to spare, including 1080p video and high-resolution surround sound from a Blu-ray player. These cables also have the bandwidth needed to handle 3D movies and games, which carry double 1080p video streams, one for each eye.

High-end Monster Cable construction
Careful construction and high-quality materials deliver top-notch picture and sound. Large-gauge high-purity copper conductors and corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts allow optimal signal transfer. Nitrogen gas-injected insulation maintains signal strength even over greater cable lengths. Three layers of high-density shielding block interference from external electronic noise. And a flexible, heavy-duty outer jacket ensures your cable will last a long time.

Highlights:

  • "Ultimate High Speed" bandwidth rating: greater than 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)
  • guaranteed compatibility with:
    • full 1080p video, including 3D
    • up to eight channels of 192 kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio
    • Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD lossless surround sound formats
  • CL3 rated for in-wall installations
  • gas-injected cellular dielectric for maximum signal strength throughout length of cable
  • high-density triple shielding (double-sided aluminum-bonded foil shield and copper braid shielding) minimizes electromagnetic interference
  • flexible Duraflex protective jacket
  • 24k gold-plated contacts to resist corrosion
  • Monster's "Cable For Life" performance guarantee — if the performance capabilities are ever exceeded by future generations of HDMI, Monster will replace the cable at no charge
  • warranty: limited lifetime
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Features

Digital Video and Multi-Track Audio Transfer: Monster HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 1000HD is a high-bandwidth digital connection that offers superior digital video and multi-channel audio in a single cable, reducing the maze of home theater connections.

Ultimate-High Speed: The 1000HD HDMI cable features a bandwidth of 17.8 Gbps and greater that will support the highest level of high definition. This cable will support the following:

  • 4K x 2K: Supports the highest definition video (4000 x 2000).
  • 240/480 Hz Refresh Rate: Ideal for HD components with refresh rates up to 480 Hz for the smoothest, most fluid video.
  • 8 to 16-Bit Color: Greater cable capacity for support of 12-bit color, also called Deep Color, available from advanced HD sources and displays. Greater color depth, from 8-bit to 12-bit, allows more detailed gradations of individual colors for the display of billions of colors.
  • 3D Ready: Newer 3D movies and games supply two video streams, each at 1080p Full HD. The 1000HD HDMI cable can handle this double bandwidth with ease.
  • HDMI-Ethernet Channel: The cable can share your Internet connection with multiple devices. No separate Ethernet cable is needed.
  • Audio Return Channel: This HDMI cable can transfer uncompressed surround sound from your HDTV with digital tuner to your AV receiver or surround sound controller. No extra audio cable needed.
  • Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD: Greater cable bandwidth for support of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD lossless surround sound, available on Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD movies.

Note: The performance specifications of Monster's 1000HD Ultimate-High Speed HDMI cables vary depending on the length of the cable. Data rates vary over longer lengths.

Precision Wound DoubleHelix Construction: Precision Wound DoubleHelix construction maximizes signal strength for crisp, clear 1080p video.

High-density Triple-Layer Shielding: The high density triple-layer shielding rejects radio frequency and electromagnetic interference for the clearest possible HDTV picture.

Nitrogen-injected Cellular Dielectric: The nitrogen-injected cellular dielectric provides maximum signal strength and ultra low-loss, even over long runs.

24k Gold V-Grip Connectors: Rugged, fully shielded, 24k gold connectors provide accurate signal transfer, maximum corrosion resistance and ensure long-lasting durability. The V-Grip design increases retention force to prevent the cables from coming disconnected accidentally.

Duraflex Protective Jacket: The Duraflex protective jacket is flexible for easy routing and installation. This ultra-durable material protects the cable no matter where you install it.

Live Forever: This cable is covered by Monster Cable's Live Forever Full Lifetime Warranty.

Cable For Life: The Monster 1000HD Ultimate-High Speed HDMI cable meets and exceeds the highest of HDMI standards. Monster Cable certifies that they will automatically upgrade your cable if the components you purchase in the future ever surpass the performance of the 1000HD cable.

This is a great product, as always Monster Cables blow away the competition, for quality and performance.

I just wish they could sell these cables for less, even though Crutchfield doe's a great job at reducing the cost. Is still is alot of money for a cable.

We recently purchased a Samsung 46" 1080 HDTV, model #650, that the cable company had hooked up with regular component cables to receive digital and hi-def channels. We thought the picture quality was good. However, after connecting the Monster cable, which was a breeze, we noticed how much crisper the picture & color looked. Would DEFINITELY recommend this product, especially if you have a high end TV.

These cables are ahead of their time, i.e. current technology does not need the performance of these cables, but in the near future the difference will become much more apparent. And if the future ever exceeds their ability, Monster will replace your cables for free. So in retrospect, if you spend a little more now, you will never spend anymore money.

I have been to other people's houses before with nice HDTV setups but with average wiring. Their HDTV picture looked really good but it seemed to
be just missing that little extra to make it great. So when I finally decided to take the plunge into HDTV, there was no way I was going to skimp on anything, or let anything short-change my large investment. So I decided to use 1000HD's to hook up my DirecTV HD-DVR receiver and my Sony S350 blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia 37XBR6. Let me tell you, the picture pops like no other HD picture I've seen anywhere else. Even when people come over that have HDTV setups of their own and they look at mine they remark about how great it looks. I can't honestly say it's got 100% to do with the cables, but when you see other people's home setups with what you would consider similar performing equipment and one of the major differences is 1000HD wiring vs. brand X wiring, and when they see your picture they like it better than theirs, I think it hints at the possibility that these cables ARE a difference maker. Everyone is free to spend as much or as little as they want and draw their own conclusions, but I think at least in my case, seeing is believing, and I'm a believer.

Monster cables are simply the best cables to hook up any electronics. I use Monster cables on my Home entertainment center and the sound and video are amazing. HDMI Cables are new to me so i didnt know one from another. My Direct TV Recievers came with HDMI Cables and the sound and picture quality wera good, But then i remembered what a great job Monster Cables did on other electronics. So i purchased the Monster HDMI Ultra high speed 1000 HD HDMI Cables , need i say more. These cables improved the sound and video to the next level. They are a little pricey but they were well worth every penny.

WOW!!!

Written By Scott, Ft Worth, TX on Wednesday, February 20, 2008
 
I used to think the same as everybody else, "It's a digital signal, you can't change 0's and 1's, so I am buying the cheapest cable I can find!" Well let me tell ya, it's not neccesarily about the digital signal but the speed of that signal. Think of it this way, remember dial-up internet service? Remember how it would take anywhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes to load a page, and how one part of the page would load and then a picture, and so on? But now, with broadband internet the entire page comes up at once. Relate that to high-speed HDMI cables, the faster the digital signal can get to your HD TV, the better it will look.



I previously owned a "Big Box" store brand HDMI, and it made 3 different HD TV's pixelate. Well, I no longer own that cable, and now have this one, and it is 200% better. As far as price goes, yeah its $100 for a cable that is slightly longer than your arm, but when buying a $2000 - $5000 HD TV, why skimp out on the cable? Also, with Monster's Lifetime Warranty and "Cable for Life" replacement policy, how can you lose?
