Monster's speed-rated cables

The Ultra-High Speed version also comes with a guarantee - if the technology is superseded by some as-yet unknown generation of HDMI, Monster will apparently supply a free upgrade.

At a press demonstration in London, head Monster Noel Lee used some impressive-looking measuring technology to illustrate the differences in data throughput between different cables, including some cheap, brandless examples and of course, some examples of Monster's new range. The differences on the computer readouts from the tests seemed very clear, but the real-world differences when viewing examples on identical HD screens, all connected to PS3s, seemed either too obvious (snow effects when using the 'cheap' cable - not something you'd be likely to tolerate with any HDMI cable) or no obvious difference at all.

The cables will initially be sold through Comet, prices tba, and AVR should be trying some out soon.
