Most people would agree that poor quality cable can adversely affect the quality of both sound and vision. However, with digital signals, one cable will perform in much the same way as another. Signal clocks within most equipment will correct such issues as signal attenuation and jitter. Better quality cables are likely to be of benefit on long cable runs because they tend to attenuate the signal less than cheaper and thinner cables. Cables seem to generate a lot of very fixed opinions from the "cable doesn't matter" camp to the "spend hundreds on every cable" believers. The most effective cable probably lies in the middle of those extremes. It might be worth noting that Monster and other branded cables are almost never seen in broadcast production studios. System integrators will rarely specify them, so almost everything that is seen on a domestic television has been through a signal chain that has used cable other than Monster.

The bronze and gold of Monster Premium Cable connections improve conductivity and the video quality.
Does the quality of HDMI cable make a difference...Monster vs. Generic?
No. It matters only when you are dealing with an analog signal. With digital signals the signal is there or its not. There is no improvement by choosing the really expensive monster cables.
Are monster cables worth the cost?
Monster provide high quality cables that improve sound quality when used with compatible products such as the new Ipad. They will not make a poor quality system sound better. If you are investing in a top quality home theatre system it would be worth investing in the best cables.
Do new video cables really make a difference in the quality of picture?
Video cables stream information to the Television. The higher quality of the video cables, the more information will be transmitted per second to the television, resulting in a higher quality picture.
Do HDMI cables make a difference on a standard TV?

A quality mold can make a difference in the process of manufacturing a product. For example, the quality of steel used for a mold can make a huge difference in the quality of the end product.
How is it best to couple wire cables to avoid damage?
It shouldn't make any difference. But if you have the time, why not.
How much difference do high end speaker cables make to the final quality when mixing music in a studio?

Are there any differences in quality from HDMI cables 120Hz and 60Hz?
There is no such thing as '120Hz' HDMI cables. Marketing hype has cables promoted for many things that make no difference in the picture or compatibility. The only features that require special cables are 3D and Ethernet over HDMI, both of which can be had with HDMI 1.4 spec cables. The signal sent to the television is going to be 24 or 60 frames per second (24Hz or 60Hz). It is the TV that creates the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate to create smoother motion.
Olevia Which HDMI cord do you use?
HDMI cables should be manufactured to the HDMI standard and have the HDMI logo on the cable or packing. The logo should guarantee that the cable will operate correctly. Because HDMI is fully digital, a cable will either work or it won't. There will be no improvement in quality by purchasing more expensive cables. Claims by manufacturers that their cable must be used for "full quality" or "best quality" are misleading. Certain manufacturers offer cables in excess of $300. Be assured that they will provide EXACTLY the same quality of image and sound as a $10 cable. Of course, the $300 cable might look better! Although some cables may be more robust than others, this is only likely to make a difference if the cable will be repeatedly connected and disconnected. Other than that, expect the lowest cost cables to perform as well and last as long as the most expensive.
Does the quality of Subwoofer boxes make a difference?

Do high definition cables really improve HDTV picture or is it just a marketing gimmick if so why?
It's been demonstrated, and is also common sense, that the "quality" of HDMI cables makes little if any difference to HD pictures - the information being sent is entirely digital so the bits either arrives or doesn't. People sell "high quality" digital cables because there is a demand - one of the more interesting examples is a $500 RJ-45 cable - again with a digital cable, there is very little improvement that different cables can make. A thought experiment can demonstrate this; if you make two copies of an audio CD, one directly on a computer, the other on a second computer via a network. Is there any way of distinguishing the two copies? The answer is no, so the network cabling makes no difference - however good or bad it is.
