A Cabling Authority For HDTV

Cables are crucial in making sure the listeners or viewer maximizes their home video or audio system. Poor cables are normally susceptible to noise and interference that negatively affect the signals produced by the source unit. In addition, low quality cables will rob consumers of the very benefits they expect to receive after having invested a significant amount in buying a particular system.

A considerable number of A/V components do have all the cables needed in a setup, while there are those that contain a cable that is too long. Cables that are included by a source manufacturer do not normally measure up to the quality of those made by aftermarket companies. Using the right cable is one of those components that can truly help to maximize your HDTV viewing pleasure.

Enter digital video interconnects

The development of digital video connections resulted from the adoption of digital video sources and displays. There are only two digital video options and these are HDMI cables and DVI cables.

HDMI and DVI cables will greatly benefit TVs that have a “fixed’-pixel” display. These cables allow video signals to remain digital up till they reach the screen. Digital pictures have the snowy and grainy effects normally seen in analog pictures. Both cable types can carry HDTV video signals. The demand for these cables has increased sharply over the past two years, as more and more people are using HD-compatible TVs and HDTV tuners.

Here are some of best selling HDTV cables in the market today.

Monster HDMI400

Attaining the best high-definition image and detailed sound is a big possibility when using the Monster HDMI400. This cable can be used with HDTVs with a built in tuner or HD tuners. Information can be delivered by as fast as 5 gigabytes per second with HDMI.

Such speed means that a single HDMI cable can handle uncompressed multichannel digital audio signals and uncompressed high-definition video and have extra bandwidth.

The Monster HDMI400 HDTV cable uses a gas-injected dielectric that ensures minimal signal loss and optimal signal strength even on extended lengths. High-density triple-shielding rejects RFI and EMI noise, delivering a pristine signal to your components. The cable fully supports both 720p and 1080i HDTV video formats and multi-channel audio formats.

Specifications:

  • signal strength runs at optimum level with its gas-injected dielectric
  • signal transfer is seamless and corrosion is effectively avoided with 24k gold contacts
  • noise rejection with high-density triple-shielding treatment
  • lifetime warranty for the Monster HDMI400 HDTV cable

Arista HDTV cable

Those that have experience installing an HDTV system know that some components can carry digital video signals with the use of a DVI connection, while others use HDMI connection. Arista’s HDTV cable ensures that digital video signals from various sources are properly transferred from one to another.

The Arista cable for HDTV makes sure that signals flow cleanly and completely. This cable effectively rejects electronics interference from other signals, as it uses two layers of aluminum/Mylar spiral binding.

In addition, corrosion will not be a problem with its gold-plated tips. Connections are solid and strong with the DVI terminal's thumbscrews and preserves signal transfer.

Specifications:

  • male HDMI to male DVI connection
  • 2 layers of aluminum/Mylar spiral binding for noise rejection
  • 24k gold-plated tips for optimum better transfer and corrosion resistance
  • pure copper center plates
  • 90 days warranty

Like the Monster HDMI400 HDTV cable, the Monster HDMI400/DVI cable also allows you to get the best high-definition image and detailed sound. This cable can be used with HDTVs with a built-in tuner or HD tuners. Information can be delivered by as fast as 5 gigabytes per second with HDMI.

Such speed means that a single HDMI cable can handle uncompressed multichannel digital audio signals and uncompressed high-definition video and have extra bandwidth.

The Monster HDMI400/DVI cable HDTV cable uses a gas-injected dielectric that ensures minimal signal loss and optimal signal strength even on extended lengths.
