Customer Review: EYE-GOUGING COLORS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

For those of you who have been seriously considering to buy these cables, or are skeptical about their quality; I will try to provide as much information as possible in my review below.

I know that these cables are VERY expensive, but they are definately made of very good materials and build quality.
I understand that alot of people out there are probably avoiding these cables like the plague because of the high price tag on these 'cinema-grade' cables.
However, that really depends on how much you are willing to spend on improving your movie-viewing pleasure at home.
If you're looking for a SERIOUS upgrade to the cheap, crappy stock composite RCA cables that came included with your equipment, then I assure you that these are some of the BEST cables that money can buy.
If a manufacturer's stock cables aren't the most CHEAPEST and CRAPPIEST cables on the planet, then the manufacturer probably wouldn't have even given them to you for FREE in the first place, right?
Maybe 20 or so years ago, stock composite RCA cables might have been acceptable to some people; but nowadays nobody in the know can really put up with them anymore because of the increasing demands in digital video technology.
Let's face it; even if you buy a $1,000 DVD player from a brand-name manufacturer, there's absolutely NO WAY in HELL that they're gonna throw in some $100 cables for you.
99% of the time, that's the main reason why you'll have to buy your own cables if you want better quality.
It doesn't take a VIDEOPHILE to tell you that these cables are signifigantly better.
With all the complicated cable science aside, let's just say that these cables act like high-bandwidth conduits that allow a much better a signal flow from your DVD player to your TV.
Note that you actually DO NOT absolutely need to have state-of-the-art, ultra-high-end equipment or even THX-encoded DVDs in order to enjoy the benefits that these cables have to offer.
But if you DO have some really nice powerful equipment; it couldn't hurt either cuz then more power to you!
These cables were specifically designed to MAXIMIZE picture quality by helping you get the most color and sharpness out of pretty much whatever you watch on any component video-compatible equipment.
With that being said, some of the things that I've noticed when watching my movies with these cables now is that all the skintones on people look bolder, their clothes seem much brighter than before, and their hair looks shinier, plus even their EYES look beadier as well.
As far as objects appear to the discerning eye; bright red things (like stoplights) look alot redder, trees look greener and the sky looks much more realistic with a deeper tone of blue.
Yes, the onscreen colors WILL become sort of EYE-GOUGING, but the picture never bleeds or leaks out.
After a while, you'll get used to this 'THX look'.
For example: you can have like two guys standing right next to each other, with one wearing a blaze-orange jacket while the other wears a neon-green jacket, but the colors will never bleed or mix in with each other; even if you turn the color settings on your TV all the way up.
I mean the sharpness is definately there.
Everything on the screen just looks very bright and very defined.
For VCDs, there will be somewhat less pixelation and artifacting, and although the video resolution problems (due to MPEG compression in most VCDs) won't be totally eliminated; everything will still look a helluva lot cleaner and brighter than ever before.
On DVDs, you will no doubt be able to see things alot more clearly and detailed from up both close and afar; especially if your DVD player supports progressive scan.
The overall increase in color and sharpness is undeniable.
You've really gotta see it to believe it.
And don't forget to get the THX Ultra 1000 Audio Interconnects to match if you're also looking to get really good cinema-quality sound!

I hope this review has been helpful to you.

Description of Monster ULT V1000 CV-4 Ultra 1000 Component Video Cables (4 feet)

Serious home theatre isn't just about watching movies-it's about experiencing them. Achieving the best possible picture and sound means using the most advanced, highest definition cable. For Monster Cable, that meant making our best even better. The main criteria was performance - to create the world's highest quality, most advanced line of home theatre cable. So, Monster joined forces with THX, the leader in audio/video quality assurance programs for select movie theatres, home theatre components, and DVDs. And a new breed of ultra performance home theatre cable was born. Choosing the Right Video Connection Although Component Video is the highest quality video connection available, not all TVs have Component Video inputs. If your TV doesn't, then use S-Video, the next best thing. Remember, S-Video cable doesn't come with the TV. Introducing Monster Ultra Series THX-Certified Ultra Component Video Monster's Ultra Series Component Video is the most advanced cable of its kind, outperforming high quality S-Video. The video signal is seperated into three precision channels of video information for enhanced richness and color accuracy that's second to none. Monster's advanced video technologies including nitrogen gas-injected dielectric insulation and silver content solder connections work together to deliver the clearest, sharpest, picture possible with maximum color saturation and ultra-low attenuation. So, whether you're watching your favorite DVD or enjoying a TV program in High Definition, Monster's Ultra Component Video will deliver the sharpest, most detailed picture with vibrant natural color.
