while there probably is a difference between the medium-quality cables and the Monster Cables that cost $100+, I'm guessing none of us have systems that will let us tell enough of a difference to make the price worth it.

This guy completely misses the point.

I used a £5 DVI-HDMI cable, and what do you know it works, no sparkly pixels. My dealer still doesn't believe that they're the same.

At first I had problems with my PS3 and HDMI , I would randomly see snowy artifcats and sometimes the screen would black out for a split second , I thought it was my TV but after doing research I ended up buying a $10 hdmi cable from Monoprice.com and its been flawless ever since.

The cable that was giving me trouble at first was a freebie that came with my upconverting dvd player, It just looked cheap and the wire was about as thin as it gets.

Theres no way you would tell a differance between over priced monster cable and another good quality cable such as one from monoprice.
