[Las Vegas Ron]

As far as cables go, I bought the Monster 1000 HD HDMI cable.

Is the cable worth the money?

I Googled it and see that it can go for as high as $200.00...then I look on eBay and you can buy them for around $30.00 in the original retail packaging from reputable sellers.

Makes me wonder about the price variation an what's up

I have a 40" Sony XBR4 1080P tv and a "stoneaged" Sony Bluray player (the BDP-S300) and that is the one I use the monster cable on. I bought it for less than $100 total online. I bought 2 of them. I just use the cheap hdmi cable that came with my tivo HD recorder. Since I only listen to the tv's stereo speakers it is hard to tell if it is that much better. I bought it through a vendor on Amazons website. I think the cable was less than $80 each plus $8.00 shipping. I got the 2 meter one.

My surround system is downstairs on my Mitusbishi 55" tv with just a dvd player that is only a 5.1 system (7 speakers total). I figure I will go to a 7.1 system in the future and buy 2 more surround speakers, but I am in no hurry. All I know is that the picture on the bluray is very good. The tv speakers are adequate for me at this time.
