Had some trouble with the return of cables but overall would order from this store again, their customer service people were very courteous and receipt of the items ordered were delivered as promise and on time.
I don't know if this happens to cables, but I e-mailed the seller asking and have thus far received no reply. So it has to be the cable. But I guess you get what you pay for. Produced a better picture from my DVD player, but after 30 days the sound went (). TV's sound is fine on it's own, and DVD works fine with composite cables, sound and picture. I bought it because it was offered on Amazon, whom I trust, and the price was great ($5.95 + S&H).
I use this cable to connect my dish to my TV and the picture is similar to my component connection from my DVD player. These cables are worth the extra money, don't waste your time getting anything else. Sharp picture and vibrant color, don't bother with any other product.period.
Be careful with Monster's plugs: the pins break easily, and the fit is way too tight. All colors thru this wire have an unrealistic candy-cane look. Not too bad on a good CRT tv but looks dreadful on LCD's, none of which have accurate color to begin with. AR-ProII and Belden make much better s-video wire. Now and then I try a Monster product just to see if they've improved or reverted back to their higher quality of 15 or so years ago. This s-video (all Monster s-video cables have the same 30-ohm internal wire, regardless of price, and are not 75-ohm NTSC standard) makes a cheap tv with image brown-out look a little juicier -- but on better tv's the image is too red, skin tones are off, grays are muddy, blacks are blocked up and below valid YUV levels, skin tones and shadows bristle with cyan blotches. If this is your preference, by all means spend your $$$.
I haven't compared it with other brands, I've always used Monster. The cable works great. but you won't miss with this one.
