The exciting thing about this cable (something exciting about a cable, i know!) is that it will stay in with magnets.

If you want to argue with someone about picture quality, argue with Monster, not these guys.

However it does not seem to be stopping Monster from telling people the opposite and it certainly is not stopping the general public from handing over their hard earned cash for something that makes no difference at all........

As for the above product, I habe no problems at all with my cheap hdmi cables falling out and I certainly do not need a light to tell me that it is plugged in!]]>Apr 15th 2009 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/
My buddy owned a high-end hometheater company and only once did they HAVE to use Monster cables - an installation in a bar where the cable run was close to all the neon lighting and by the motors for the decending/revolving lights.......not your typical 6' run in a persons house where monoprice cables work ]]>Apr 15th 2009 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 16th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/

I'm sorry, but that just sounds dirty!]]>Apr 15th 2009 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/
Since you can get DVI / HDMI adaptors, DVI must use most, if not all of the same signals as HDMI, its just a different connector.
I prefer DVI as it uses thumb screws on each side of the connector to secure the heavy cable. The HDMI connector looks weak, and on cables might easily bend/break.]]>Apr 15th 2009 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/
That's *exactly* how it's supposed to be - so you don't damage the cable or pull the laptop off the table if you snag or trip on the cable.

Detaching the cable accidentally doesn't matter as the laptop will keep running on battery until you reattach the cable.]]>Apr 15th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/
Also, I think that the magnetic connectors on laptops being weaker than physical connections is exactly the reason they exist. They opperate like the breakaway connectors on gas pumps. I don't really understand what the point of having a super strong magnet on you cable is. I know one thing for sure- I'm not buying one of these cables to plug into the back of my htpc!]]>Apr 15th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/torrents-sureconnect-hdmi-cables-stay-put-with-magnets-blink-w/Apr 15th 2009 2:53PM
