LOOK for the WORDS in " RETAIL PACKAGING " Etc. !!! I have Bought & RETURNED , many " Monster HDMI " (???) in ZIP LOCKS & Boxes but, NOT " NEW " !!! There are MANY 17.8 Gbps HDMI Cables on SALE due to the NEW 18 Gbps !!! I got 0NE for $30.00 and 2 for $20.00 a month later :o))

Yes it would work but to be honest I would actually rather buy them from the monster actual website because I have pot this product about 3 times and all three times it has been really cheap and two other times the cable actually did not work. & I had to email and send the product back and they sent me a new one but again the product did not work. So I would actually recommend buying it from the actual monster website which is what I actually did and they are original parts. But the product will work but again it's now your choice if you want to take a chance buying this product or buying and the regional product from the monster website.

Whether its monster or not they're all made most likely in China. HDMI isn't something that you need to worry about the type unless you have a resolution like 4k. Then you should probably get HDMI 1.4 but get any cable that's the cheapest. It either displays the picture or it doesn't. It will NOT make the picture any better looking. To answer your question I have not and will not ever buy from monster so I do not know about their warranties.

Usually, the certified cables are at least 1/2 to 2/3 the price of the ones from the overpriced fruit seller. There are some supposedly "certified" cables out there that sell for $5 or less, which are obviously counterfeit and may last a month if they work at all. Go with a known brand like Belkin, Amazon Basics or the Friendly Swede to be sure you're getting the real thing.

Thanks, it seems as though Amazon.com is selling the same item in nominal three- and four-foot lengths with no distinction in the listing. Seems to be a crap-shoot regarding what length cable one might receive, no?

Neither one. Save $100+ and order an Amazon, Monoprice, Blue Jeans Cable, etc brand cable. They all do the EXACT SAME THING as the Monster cables but cost a fraction of the price.

I have not had that problem with this cable; I have experienced that with other knock-off no name brand cables I bought prior to purchasing this one. I have had this one for 3 or 4 months now with no issues. I hope you find this information helpful! September ~ AlteredAttic.com ;-)

If you go and buy your own hardware I think it should. If you would like me to email you some pictures if how I did mine I'd be happy too. The cable is good. It just the hardware you need to be concerned about. I think I spent a total of $60 on the hardware, lead, and this trolly.

Hello Joseph, In the product description we mention that the cable is unshielded twisted pure copper. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

I purchased it under the impression that it was. However, it did not perform like the original. Everything about it seems cheap. Cable was okay though.

I haven't found an HDMI cable that won't do 3D. My $2.99 HDMI cable runs 3D from blu-ray or online streaming to my receiver and then another $2.99 cable to my projector just fine and I have no issues.There are several tests showing Monster cable vs any generic HDMI cable with no differences.

Warning! I just found out (4/27/15) that unless the seller is one of Monster's authorized dealers the warranty will NOT be honored. They will send ONE new replacement but the warranty ends with it. This is enforced even though the cable is genuine and came in the original manufacturer's packaging. Topgoods is NOT an authorized seller.

I don't think they feel cheap. They do not seem as heavy duty as he monster cables I have, but they do work well and seem strong enough to last. I have only had them for a month, and so far so good.
