why do people always have to post this crap?

this is not the first way overpriced product we've seen. Not only that, but the comments are ALWAYS the same.
 
Oooo...it must be good because it has lights! Also, I bet it delivers clearer digital sound than the digital sound from a cheap cable. I bet!
 
Passing 0's and 1's isn't really that hard. If you don't need anything longer than 6 feet just buy the cheapies from Meritline.com when they're on sale for $6 for 3 shipped. Stupid consumers.
 
This HDMI cable features solid silver-plated long-grain copper conductors and a dielectric-bias system to reduce jitter and distortion.

What a bunch of frauds.

And this is from a "Top 500 Contributor" on BB.com...keep drinking the Kool Aid buddy :

My new home theater system was working, BUTsomething was not right. In talking to some people here on some bulletin boards, I found out it was my video cables. So I went out and this AudioQuest Coffee 6.6' HDMI Cable - Brown/Black was recommended to me. Thank you, world wide web!

Now, I will admit that the name, AudioQuest Coffee made me think that this is the Starbucks, Premium, version of HDMI cables, but after plugging it in to my 42" plasma, I DID see a HUGE difference. When I got the TV, I did not think there was a big difference going to SD TV to 720p HD TV. The cables make ALL the difference. PLUS, I cannot help but show off my AudioQuest Coffee 6.6' HDMI Cable - Brown/Black when people comment on my picture.

I never did get any hint of coffee aroma from the cables, however, and the odd brownish red color does not match my components, but that's a minor issue.
Do yourself a favor, skip the Monster branded cheap cables that stories say do as well as a coat hanger. Get the AudioQuest Coffee 6.6' HDMI Cable - Brown/Black. It's Simply the BEST.

What's great about it: Picture quality, ease of install, fresh mountain grown aroma
What's not so great: The color does not match my Dynex or vizio products that are all black.

Because it will be funny to the end of time. They make the product which means there's some dumbass out there who buys it.
 
1st, I apologize for reviving an ancient thread. But I was looking for a cheap HDMI cable and in the process, I was reminded of old, hilarious reviews for $1700 cables, Best Buy couldn't delete them fast enough at the rate they were flowing in so now they require admin approval first.:thumbsdown:

Here is one that cracked me up so bad, I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard:

I knew my day was going to improve when the truck pulled up at my home with this cable deep within. No ordinary truck, this one was Holy White, and the gold Delivery logo sparkled like a thousand suns reflected through shards of the purest ice formed with unadulterated water collected at the beginning of the universe. The driver, clad in a robe colored the softest of white, floated towards me on the cool fog of a hundred fire extinguishers. He smiled benevolently, like a father looking down upon his only child, and handed me a package wrapped in gold beaten thin to the point where you could see through it. I didn't have to sign, because the driver could see within my heart, and knew that I was pure.

Upon opening the package, an angelic choir started to sing, and reached a crescendo as I laid this cable on my stereo system. Instantly, my antiquated equipment transformed into components made from the clearest diamond-semiconductor. The cable knew where to go, and hooked itself into the correct ports without help from me - all the while, the choir sang praises to the almighty digital god. With trepidation, I pushed "play," and was instantly enveloped in a sound that echoed the creation of all matter, a sound that vibrated every cell in my body to perfection. I was instantly taken to the next plane, where I saw the all-father. I knew with my entire soul, that all was good in the world.

But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.

I bought a washer and dryer last week at Frys. They had a display for Monster brand dryer cables. Yes... dryer cables.

Another one:

My girlfriend recently bought me this cable for my birthday and I was immediately excited. I had already purchased a SunBrite 55" Outdoor LCD TV and new that the picture quality was lacking due to the cheap $500 cable that I was talked into downgrading to. This one, at only a little more than 3x the price, would surely take me to another plane of viewing pleasure. Oh how right I was.

Once I connected my TiVo and television with the cable I sat in front of it and turned on the power. For 30 seconds I saw colors that I never knew existed, never had existed before this AV combo of the Gods was brought to this earth. Then, I went completely blind. The awesomeness that shot out of the television was too great for mortal eyes. In panic I called to my girlfriend. She ran into the room, only to scream and attempt to flee. Apparently the refraction from this new technological prism created an inter-dimensional rift. Flying armored goats flew past me, grabbed my girlfriend, and retreated into the portal.

Now, thanks to AudioQuest and their Coffee colored cable that went so well with my plush futon and matching shag carpet, I must make pursuit into the portal. Blind, with only my Boston Terrier Jake to guide me, I must venture into their world and slay the Ram King. This may be farewell, but I must try and right this wrong. Please heed this warning. Stick to the AudioQuest Carbon Platinum HDMI cable or a lesser quality plasma TV.

What's great about it: Color matched my shag carpet and futon, allowed me to see further past the visible light spectrum.
What's not so great: Went blind, girlfriend captured by winged livestock, may have unleashed Armageddon.
