actually even short cables are subject to interference. I don't use monster but DPTN same price but better insulation and plating. And i can tell the difference i have no silent static in my home speaker system compared to before when i just used generic.
I agree to some degree. I noticed a significant difference when I went from generic to monster hdmi cables but noticed the same clarity when I purchased high quality generic cables from monoprice. If the price is reasonable I'll go with quality and brand recognition.
generic is perfect. ONly reason I might consider buying more expensive cable would be if I needed a super long extension - I guess over distance the more expensive cables might have less interference.
Monster is priced way too high. I only buy Monster products when they are at discount prices. Example: $400.00 reference center for $120.00. I swooped on that deal.
