I have tried some audioquest, xlo and wireworld, I have not tried the Monster Cable. The Wireworld video made the least difference even though it was the most expensive! The others were a clear improvement over what came in the box with the DVD player. The colour was better, image cleaner, etc. I also found that properly adjusted with the Video essentials also makes a difference and makes the money spent on the cables more worthwhile. That said I would not spend more than $50 on S-video cable for the typical tv. Sure if you have a topline Plasma or project unit, then spend the money and make sure it looks good, but for the typical mass market direct view, keep it inexpensive.
