Question on Home Entertainment systems

LOL...I am so lost now!

All I know is that I am happy with mine and agree with bullit67 that is the most important part

I left out the part that not only did I get the monster cable from Best Buy but I just ended up having them come and install the whole thing for me with new Blue Ray player and Surround sound, ect. I figured people would just tell me how much money I wasted on having them come do everything for me but I am very happy with what they did. Couldn't tell you much about what they did but I know my TV looks a million times better than when I had set it up. The only thing I haven't liked much is the Shaw PVR but that was my choice not theirs.

I also bought my cables from monoprice.com (about 1 month ago) ... 2 six foot cables, and 2 ten foot cables ... total delivered price $32US. At that price I didn't worry about our anemic exchange rate . I'm very happy with their performance on my Blu-ray and 1080p LCD.

The issue of cables will probably never be resolved, as Monster has done a wonderful marketing job. Yes, their cable components are higher quality, but as the CBC Marketplace article shows, for sending and receiving a digital signal it can be overkill. Monster made their name in the analog world (e.g. speakers), where cable sizes and premium connectors make a difference.

That said, monoprice.com does have a range of cables to choose from. I went for the HDMI 1.3a Category 2 certified 28 AWG. The 24 AWG cables are suggested for lengths over 12 foot.

And that's really all that matters
