I've been using Monster Products for about 2 years now. Although, I've read in newsgroups about Monster Products, being over priced, and not worth the money. I personal have to disagree. I use Monster on my DSS, DVD hook ups. Because I'm looking for the best image quailty available.
This cable is an excellent cable. I'm running it directly from a Panasonic A110 DVD Player straight to the S-VHS Input on the Television. Which is a RCA 32" 1997 Home Theater Model Television. At first the color was to saturated. I had to go in Menu and adjust the color, and tone. It looked much better. However I came to conclude, it wasn't the cable. It was my TV.

This product, cleaned up Dot Crawl. Made the picture and flesh tones more realistic, and crisp. I used Dirty Harry, and The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. As references. I tried a few Pan & Scan DVDs too. Karate Kid, and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. The color in Karate Kid was ok, but it wasn't that great. National Lampoons, color was a little bright. I personally think it was the DVDs themselves, not having a good transfer to digital.

Overall, I would have to rate this cable as great. It makes and enhances viewing and makes a big difference, in the Home Theater Experience. Give it a try. I bought mine from www.audiofx.com. They have great prices, and fast shipping. No Toll Free Number though. Happy Viewing.

The M1000V Silver Video S-VHS Cable certainly improved the picture resolution between my Philips 840 DVD player and my Thomson 46-inch projection TV (100 Hz). I used a cheap RCA cable before that and the picture was grainy and harsh. With the monster resolution improved immediately. Picture noise was 95% eradicated. ( I had wanted to change my RF cable as the next alternative if the picture noise was still there, but the improvement in image from the Monster S-VHS meant I didn't have to bother)What a relief! At this point, the money spent was just worth it.
However, I tried hooking up the TV and DVD player with a cheaper Japanese brand (Taiyo) S-VHS cable that cost one third the price of the M1000V S-VHS Cable. What's surprising was that the picture resolution was almost equal.
On the Taiyo (bought it from a cheap neighbourhood video store), colours were warmer and more vivid than the M1000V, however the latter offered finer resolution and a sharper image, although there was some loss of colour detail. I'd rank both equally.
Makes you think. Do you pay premium for a Monster or get something less expensive. I think the best you could do, if possible, is to compare a few S-video cables. Try the Monster S-VHS on your TV before buying. Be absolutely certain.
I am going to test out a Straightwire S-Video next. See if it beats the Monster and Taiyo.

Great color seperation, Protection, warrentee

Overall a great product. Have had no probles with any of my monster cable wires. Just recentally switched from regular monster cables to the M series. Huge improvement. The picture is shape and crisp. The build quility is great, just watch out with the connectors. If you pull to hard you may damage your unit.

Well I am not sure how much the cable costs exactly because it was a Christmas gift but I am told that it was around $70. Well let me tell you that I have all monster video cable on my system and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Actually I have around $300 dollars worth of cable including speaker wire. Well the setup of my system is not important except from my DVD player to my TV. I have a S-Video cable that runs from my DVD directly to my TV and a composite video cable that runs from my DVD to my receiver and from the monitor out to my TV. Well I have to say that the difference is huge. I have to take into account that there will be some break up of my composite video because it is running into my TV but not enough to make a difference like I have seen.
When I was watching Dances with Wolves on DVD the other day I was super impressed with the THX certified sound and picture. Well the movie was finally over and the credits were rolling and I switched the TV from the S-video input to the input coming from my receiver. WOW the difference was amazing. I almost couldn't read the credits any more(a slight exageration). The dot crawl was terrible. Might I remind you that I have all heavy guage monster cable and the breakup was that bad. Well I can't swear by the monster cable with out giving others a fair shot but I must swear by the S-Video cable. It is a must for anyone that is a fan of quality HIFI equipment and don't be afraid to pay the extra money. They say that 10% of your systems cost should be on cables!!!

When I bought my DVD player I also purchased a RCA brand S-video cable so I could get a better picture. This cable cost around $18. I noticed that it was in fact better than composite video and I was happy. Until it shorted out and I realized that it was made very poorly. I then ordered a Monster Video 2 cable I think. They give me a slightly lesser cable that ran about $30 until the new one come in. With this cable I noticed another improvement over the RCA brand. When the Video 2 ( at around $45)arrived I hooked it up and took back the lesser Monster cable. Again I noticed a better picture. Finally after living with it for several months I have now moved up again to this cable at around $55. I'm no expert on cables but it just seemed that every price increase made a difference. My advise is to slurge and by what you can afford, it's only a one time purcgase and it does make a difference. After all,you spent all that dough on the Big Screen TV and the DVD player,why not make it look the best?

Great improvement over copper cables.

M 1000v is another super product from Monster Cable. Mr.Lee has done it again. This product is a great improvement over copper offerings in this space, and at $70.00 a pair, they are a true value.

My Sony WEGA KV32FS12 works well with M 1000v, and also with their M 350i audio cables.

In a nutshell, a great value from Monster Cable in this space.
