Monster "HDMI Difference" scam still kickin' in Fry's Electronics {Engadget}

Mar 23rd 2009 6:08PM Let me put it into lamens terms, I took electronic engineering in College and spent 5 years working in Home entertainment Sales and installations..


Monster Cable = Rip off you dont need the REGARDLESS of how high qualtiy of tv you have, we setup and in store demo to see if people would notice the difference between Monster HDMI and $129 and NO NAME HDMI $12.99 both playing from the Same model and brand BluRay player with the smae movie playing with the smae length cable in the same room side by side on the same model and brand TV with the same Defualt settings on the TV.. THEY LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME! and to prove our point the MONSTER rep came in 3 days later and he said he couldn't tell the difference and we told him to guess and HE GUESS THE ONE WITH THE NO NAME CABLE

technically speaking Monsters are better quality for a signal to travel on .. but look at this analogy.. you have a Ferrari(Electrical Signal)
now you build a 5 lane road 100 miles long and let the ferarri rip it.. then build a 7 lane highway and let the same Ferrari rip it... either way the car is gonna get to the end at the same time on the 5 Lane( noname HDMI) and the 7 Lane( Monster)

Toshiba knows no shame, plans to release super-resolution DVD player {Engadget HD}

Jun 17th 2008 11:26PM Yeeaa Squigle I see you obviously dont work in the retail world or have any contact with Toshiba reps or Sony rep.

You saying that BD has no where to go? what! this is the same way DVD started slow and steady. this is an infant technology to the public. when dvd came out the prices where the same as BD is now..

I remeber buying a Pioneer DVD player for $449 CND in 1998 i think it was. and movies were $39 CND.

People have a curious fashion about them that having a physical tangable item to keep there movies is what they have to have and not just anything tangable it has to be the right size too.. why do you think they haven't brought out Movies on SD cards? it would be ALOT cheaper to load a 8Gb flash card with an HD video than it is to make DVD's. its because no one would want to have a collection on flash card.. i wouldn't thats for sure..



Anyway you should actually get out in the world before saying a technology isn't viable or going anywhere, last time I checked Bestbuy and the video rental stores have doubled the BD shelves in BD titles since HD-DVD went away.
