Hi all,

I just bought a 50" samsung DLP tv and also the Samsung DVD-HD841 hi-definition dvd player and the salespeople convinced me to pick up the Monster DVI400 DVi cables to connect the two. The samsung dvd player actually said it came with a DVI cable included but they said it's not good enough. I actually havent seen the cable yet as everything is being delivered but I'm thinking that the $150 Canadian or so I paid for the monster is a bit much, I was wondering what you guys think about these Dayton's instead:

Do you think the Monster's will really make any difference? Thanks very much for any advice.

cheers,

... that the salesmen get "bonus points" for selling Monster, don't you? It's less about helping you get a better picture than their winning a chance to drive Noel Lee's Lambroghini for a few minutes. No joke.

It's not that they are bad cables but their preformance can be equalled for much, much less money.

If, for whatever reason, you feel the supplied cables are inadequate, follow your instincts and try the Daytons.
