“The connection the Monster MV2CV cables bring is of superior quality and does not downgrade HDTV signals at all”
Name of product: Monster MV2CV-1.5M Component Video Cables (1.5 meters)
Features:
- 24K Gold contact RCA connectors – this gives great conductivity
- The copper construction provides a clear and sharp picture
- Low loss component video cable allows for video to be transmitted and reproduced with higher quality
Pros:
- Very high bandwidth so there is no downgrading
- Very sharp picture
- Resist corrosion
Cons:
- Length. The cable is quite short at 1.5 metres. However, if you are connecting a component video switch or other device that is within this range, this actually becomes a bonus as the shorter the cable length the greater the signal quality!
- Cost (potentially). Decent quality cables cost decent amounts of money. There is not much you can do to get around this fact. Given the specs of this high quality cable, it is actually a very good deal if you only require a 1.5 metre length. $40 or so if pretty good for this product if you can get yourself in the right frame of mind regarding just how much some other cables of this quality cost!
Review:
If you’re looking to the get the most out of your component device or to increase the throughput of a component video switch, cabling is often the issue. The Monster MV2CV-1.5M Component Video Cables seemed to present all aspects that I wanted to improve in this cable. The connection the Monster MV2CV cables bring is of superior quality and does not downgrade HDTV signals at all. Component video switches greatly could benefit from this as it would increase the bandwidth of the output cable that typically comes with those devices by a large margin.
The most important thing about this set of cables is the fact that HD signals are now downgraded at all due to the very high bandwidth that this set of cables brings you. Whether you’re using this cable from an HD receiver or a component video switch you can be assured there will be no signal loss as it is transmitted to the component device.
The gold contact Turbine RCA connectors are great elements of these cables as it really helps offset corrosion while improving the connection between component devices such as component video switches, HDTV’s, computers and other component devices.
The video is reproduced exactly as it sent in through these cables due to the high density copper stranding that is within the durable mesh tubing. This copper stranding allows for lower signal loss and protection from video noise that may occur.
The length of the cable is rather short, but I suppose it’s meant for either a direct connection from an HD component device or a component video switch so that’s likely the reason it is so short. The only other negative aspect of these cables is the cost; it is a little high to pay roughly $35 (USD) for a 1.5M set of cables.
Overall these cables seem to have been designed for component video switches and HD receivers in mind. They are set to deal with high bandwidth information that people don’t want to experience loss or degradation of video quality. If quality of video is more important than money, these set of cables will do the trick for you.

Thanks a lot for the review! I bought the cable and can confirm the picture quality is awesome. Had to move my DVD player a bit closer, but other than that went well.
