Which cable is better this one(Monster Black Platium UltraHD) or the Monster ISF2000?

This is exactly the same problem I had before I decided to buy the black platinum. Black platinum has 27 Gbps hyper speed, ISF2000 has 21 Gbps hyper speed. The main reason the ISF2000 is much more expensive than the Black Platinum is because it have hdmi signal resolution indicator and ISF certified for calibration feature. First, I don't use both the feature, because once I installed the cable behind the cabinet, who will bother to see the signal indicator on the cable (4K, HD or SD)? The TV or the receiver will tell us the signal resolution. And second, I don't use ISF calibration. So both of the cables have same main feature, like 4K ready, 24K Gold Contacts, High density shielding, and V grip connectors. But the black platinum faster and much cheaper than ISF 2000. There is no reason I would buy the ISF 2000. And after I use the black platinum with my home theatre, I am very satisfied with the result. Both the picture and the sound are amazing. And I saw many seller sell ISF2000 at much reduced price now, but I didn't see the same with black platinum. In my opinion, it because the black platinum sold much better than ISF 2000. Hope it helps you to decide :)

There is absolutely no difference between HDMI cables. It is a digital cable (0's and 1's) so don't buy into the marketing of the more expensive cables. Monster Cable sells HDMI cables for $70+ and they are known for bad business practices. Here's one for less than $4: HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b All I know about surge protectors is the higher number of joules, the better.

Mine came with a USB 2.0 cable. The difference is easily seen. USB 3.0 connectors have a Blue lip and USB 2.0/1.0 cables have a Black lip

The only difference is the length of the cable. As for performance wise it really would not make any difference. It is a very good cable, excellent to say the least. Great construction on the cable and it performs very well. And yes there is a difference on the video end or tv display. It is solid copper, not copper clad cable. I have used monster cables for quite a while, mainly for my tv & home theater set-up. From HDMI Cables & fiber optic cables. And also the monster cable < cat 6 > for my internet to my pc & as i have AT&T; U-verse i have the monter cat 6 from the moden to the u-verse set top box. And the picture & audio is excellent. Go ahead and use monster cable, as you will not regret it... The only difference is the length of the cable. As for performance wise it really would not make any difference.

I am using this cable on a WD Black 1TB second drive in a Dell Inspiron desktop. No problems.

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.

I haven't found an HDMI cable that won't do 3D. My $2.99 HDMI cable runs 3D from blu-ray or online streaming to my receiver and then another $2.99 cable to my projector just fine and I have no issues.There are several tests showing Monster cable vs any generic HDMI cable with no differences.

To answer my own question - I purchased a media bridge HDMI Cable off Amazon & it worked just fine. Now with that being said, I actually never needed to buy this cable. The H FS100 is a flash drive - I purchased a Transcend card w/ a USB Reader & if you have a DVD or Blu Ray Player w/ USB slots - your good to go. FYI - I was going to purchase a Blu Ray player, but it was better to go w/ a Sony PS3. Not only is it a Blu Ray Player, but it has 2 USB Slots, plays video games & you can surf the Web with it. Hopes this help someone else!

Don't bother with monster cable for anything. 16AWG will do just fine. If your room is huge, use 14AWG to the back surrounds. It all depends on length. If the cables are really short, 18AWG would even work fine. Don't believe the hype about cables. While the ones that come with this suck, you don't need 10AWG Monster Cable 12000 or whatever. Just a waste of money. Check out monoprice for good deals on the cables (or Amazon marketplace).

Ryan, all hi speed HDMI cables are HDCP. Marking any HDMI cable as HDCP is a sales gimmick, not based in science. HDCP depends upon the components on either end of the cable, not the cables themselves. These are well made cables and look nice too. I hate to hide them behind my equipment! They have very solid end connectors and mine have a blue and grey tweed fabric look covering. I have several sets of very cheap black ones from a different manufacturer that work OK except for one set that has an internittent connection due to a flimsy end connector. I don't think the cheapies would take frequest plugging and unplugging as well as the Twisted Veins. I work as a DJ and bass player so I work with cables all the time. Cables don't tend to break in the middle but at the ends. These are molded on nicely. BTW, hi speed a HDMI cable works or don't work. The expensive ones (like Monster cable) don't give any better picture or sound and I found that my Monster cables with RCA connectors were just awful because they were too thick and stiff to stay snug in the sockets when plugged in. The same goes for Monster speaker cable. Unless you are going a long distance (over 50 feet) there is no noticeable degradation of sound quality due to wire impedance. Save your money! Sorry Monster.

The Grey cable is larger, and stiffer. Great for harsh environments. The black cable is more flexible and is more than adequate for most uses. Both are great cables and charge with high currents. DennisB

Save your money and buy a cheaper cable. You will not notice a difference. Also Monster does not honour their so called warranty. I am saying this from experience.

Its supposed to have a lifetime guarantee but mine was faulty right out of the box and Monster refused to replace it saying that there was nothing wrong with it. I am now using a Belkin HDMI cable. Its cheaper and WORKS!
