Playstation 3 Monster Component Audio Video Cable Reviews

• Not worth your money

  The Sony component cables are $19.99 and cover you under their warranty, and are of the same quality as these monster cables (or as any other component cable). Don't waste your money.
  
  (also, don't be a moron and tell sony you are using 3rd party cables)
  
  

• Overpriced, but great quality

  If you can't get HDMI, then Component A/V Cable is the way to go. I have the Monster Game Component A/V Cable for PS2 and it is the same except mine is blue (since blue is the PS2 theme color) and it works on all of the PlayStations since 1997. I would recommend that anyone looking to buy HD cables for their PS3 get a regular brand HDMI cable (Philips is perfect at just $33) or a Sony Component A/V Cable ($14.95 compared to Monster Game's outrageous $59.99!!!!!). Monster Cable's prices are just daft!

  I waited over a month after the ps3's launch to buy this cable from amazon. It is extremely rare and I've never even seen in in an actual store. Anyways, I purchased this cable because my new 19 inch Samsung lcd hdtv only has a dvi input. I didn't feel like using an hdmi to dvi cable and an additional audio cable so I tried this cable. The quality of the blue-ray movies looks just as good as my larger, 32 inch samsung lcd hdtv with hdmi. I did notice something unsual however while playing games. All the dark images in all my games were noticeably darker, like 25% darker than when I was using the hdmi cable. I hooked this component cable up to my bigger lcd and it had the same effect. There were a few parts of some levels in Resistance where I could barely see. Even the menus in Resistance were darker than they should of been. I had the same results with Ultimate Alliance as well. I really can't think of any reason for why this is happening. Both my tv's are Samsungs, maybe this has something to do with it? Build quality for this cable is exceptional. The cable itself is massive, 10 feet long and about .4 inches in diameter. I like how it splits off into five connectors at the last 8 inches of the cable. When connected to the the tv's, it's very well hidden and only the primary .4 inch thick cable is visible. Overall, great cable but the darkening of games does get rather annoying sometimes.

  Monster cables are excellent if you are looking for the absolute best for your all your home entertainment needs. But, they are super expensive unless you are smart about your shopping. The Monster Cable PGL400 CVAA-10 GameLink is not listed as PS2 component cable in the amazon search so it will never come up, but it is the same exact product as this except it is blue since it was released for the PS2 which has the same connector as the PS3. Lifetime warranty on these cable for $10!Monster Cable PGL400 CVAA-10 GameLink
  
  

• Awesome, no problems

  I have never had any problems with this cable; it is awesome. The image is crystal clear and very crisp. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you buy this cable over a very cheap MadCatz/Intec/similar HD component cable; they are cheaply made and won't work.
  Bottom line, 10/10.
