LOOK for the WORDS in " RETAIL PACKAGING " Etc. !!! I have Bought & RETURNED , many " Monster HDMI " (???) in ZIP LOCKS & Boxes but, NOT " NEW " !!! There are MANY 17.8 Gbps HDMI Cables on SALE due to the NEW 18 Gbps !!! I got 0NE for $30.00 and 2 for $20.00 a month later :o))

It came in the Monster packaging when I ordered as if I just picked one up from a store.

Thanks, it seems as though Amazon.com is selling the same item in nominal three- and four-foot lengths with no distinction in the listing. Seems to be a crap-shoot regarding what length cable one might receive, no?

Retailers will always try to tell you that Monster is best because they make such an enormous amount of profit if you buy that $99 cable. Think about it, if you owned a retail store, would you rather sell a $10 cable, or a $99 cable. You can't blame them for trying but "buyer beware" is in order. Lifetime Warranty? Seriously, for $99? Considering they are 10x the price of what a quality cable should cost, the lifetime warranty is irrelevant. If you would be willing to pay 10x the price of a blu-ray player or any other product, I'm sure they would offer a offer you a lifetime warranty on those too. Monster has the retailers sucked in because of how much potential profit there is to be made. "buyer beware"! It's all Monster marketing. And they are super good at it. As to your second question, there is no such thing as a 1080 cable. The only differences in cables are Standard Speed (Category 1) and High Speed (Category 2). The difference between Standard Speed and High Speed is that High Speed is guaranteed to throughput 1080p. Standard Speed may also throughput 1080p but it is not guaranteed to do so. As to "Hertz" or more accurately "refresh rates", the refresh rate is done inside the TV. The cable has nothing to do with it so long as it is capable of throughputting enough information so that the TV can receive enough information to refresh at the specified refresh rate. That said, any High Speed HDMI cable is capable of the refresh rates of any TV currently being produced. While that may change in the future, to my knowledge it is simply an irrelevant consideration. @Russell, you should not accept a distorted picture. It unacceptable and, assuming you have confirmed its the cable and not the dvd player or the settings, clearly you should call the people that sold you the cable and get it replaced free of charge.

I bought my monster inspiration from a special monster promo from the actual monster store on Amazon!! Make sure you are buying from a legitimate seller. The most legitimate are those that have at least 1,000 sales and like 98% good ratings!

No, this cable is fake, I bought it for the same reason and it doesn't even work.

I'm not sure why other people are reporting this. I do know that it is the best cable I have tried to date, and I have tried very many brands and lengths. I have purchased more from Tech Armor since ad have had no trouble with any of them.

Neither one. Save $100+ and order an Amazon, Monoprice, Blue Jeans Cable, etc brand cable. They all do the EXACT SAME THING as the Monster cables but cost a fraction of the price.

Yes, this is excellent quality cable. I've used it both in studio and portable applications, with no problems of any kind. Highly recommend.

Are you asking a questions or making a statement? I purchased the Monster 100 feet speaker cable online after reviewing the same cable at Fry's. The wire is quality constructed with multiple strands of interlaced wire and is well shielded for noise reduction. The longest run is approximately 30 feet from my Onkyo receiver and Samsung 65" television though the attic and walls to my Polk speakers. The sound is superb and the quality as I expected. You will like this wire.

It's been a while since I purchased this cable but it was a true Monster Cable for sure.

Warning! I just found out (4/27/15) that unless the seller is one of Monster's authorized dealers the warranty will NOT be honored. They will send ONE new replacement but the warranty ends with it. This is enforced even though the cable is genuine and came in the original manufacturer's packaging. Topgoods is NOT an authorized seller.

Yes it would work but to be honest I would actually rather buy them from the monster actual website because I have pot this product about 3 times and all three times it has been really cheap and two other times the cable actually did not work. & I had to email and send the product back and they sent me a new one but again the product did not work. So I would actually recommend buying it from the actual monster website which is what I actually did and they are original parts. But the product will work but again it's now your choice if you want to take a chance buying this product or buying and the regional product from the monster website.

Yes this is a 100 foot spool of original monster cable. No plastic tube in middle of the wire, just copper speaker cable (what you want). It doesn't give a gauge of the wire but it is about 10 gauge or a hair bigger.

I am sorry I have no idea. I returned the cable as it made the picture on the television worse. I went ahead and bought a cheapy $8.00 one and it worked so much better than the Monster Cable.
