Monster Cable UltraHD Black Platinum Ultimate High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, HDMI-HDMI (AM-AM), 10'

Why is HDMI Important
There is a popular saying: "A system is only as good as it's weakest link". In today's world of fast-evolving technology and an industry where there's a new acronym to describe the next innovation every month, it can be easy to forget that small components play a huge part in your experience. Your cables are the vessels that carry your picture and sound to your screens, speakers and other components. Poor quality HDMI cables can lose signal as it's transmitted, meaning that your TV is not receiving 100% of the data that's being sent. Find out here how Monster cables can help.

Our Fastest Cable
Monster Black Platinum HDMI has the highest bandwidth capability of our HDMI range, able to transmit a huge 27Gbps. With speed that far above the current minimum specifications for 4K content, you can be sure that this cable is going to deliver every single piece of data to your screen, resulting in perfect picture and sound.

V-Grip
A poor physical connection can contribute to loss of picture quality or even the picture itself. Monster V-Grip increases the amount of force necessary to remove the HDMI cable from the port by four times through the use of "teeth" in the connector head that fit corresponding "teeth" present inside every HDMI port. Creating a secure fit is important if your HDMI components move frequently or are in a hard to reach location, for example a TV on an articulating bracket, or a ceiling-mounted projector.

Full Metal Jacket
Cheap cables break easily! Monster further reinforces the HDMI connector with a unique metal jacket to add strength and rigidity to the connector. It's extremely difficult to bend or break the connector of our premium HDMi cables!

Gold Anodised Connectors
Many HDMI cables have gold plated connectors - gold is an excellent conductor and doesn't tarnish easily, however the plating process overlays a layer of metal ontop of the connector itself, which can chip or wear through with repeated use. Monster uses gold anodised connectors, a method which increases resistance of the connector to wear and tear and further protects against corrosion.

Audio Return Channel
This Monster cable has the Audio Return Channel feature, enabling you to send audio "upstream" to a connected AV receiver or surround sound system using less cables.

Hdmi Ethernet Channel Support
The HDMI Ethernet Channel provides accommodation for present and future IP-based networking solutions for consumer electronics products, allowing multiple devices to share a single internet connection.

Ul Listed
Monster HDMI cables are suitable for use in your walls, complying with relevent safety standards and tested under the UL certification process.

Solid Connectors
Many basic HDMI cables are poorly constructed. You see the gold-plated connector head, but what you don't see is that inside the connector block it's filled with glue or other filler compound. Not only is this a weak material with a tendancy to fail and leave the metal HDMI connector head inside your device, it's also extremely bad at shielding your signal from exterior noise. While these HDMI cables may claim to be shielded along the length of the cable, if the head is not also protected where the signal is most vulnerable to interference from other cables, power sources and devices, your signal could still be adversley affected.

So You'Ve Heard All Hdmi Cables Are The Same?
TV technology moves at a lightning pace. The world just about gets to grips with HD, and now we have 4K - four times the resolution of HD. And if you're up to speed with the latest developments, we're already talking about 8K, which is four times the resolution of 4K and 16 times the resolution of current HD TV. Monster HDMI cables not only meet the current specifications - they exceed them, providing huge bandwidth to ensure your cables work with the best of today's TV technology, and for many years to come.

Ever Increasing Bandwidth Requirements
Find out a little more about why bandwidth is such an important factor in purchasing your HDMi cable:

• Resolution:
One factor many people don't consider is that a bigger picture results in more information needed for that picture to be displayed, and just like your internet connection, more information in the same time requires greater bandwidth. Using an HDMI cable you bought in 2006 to watch the latest TV blockbuster in 4K is the equivalent of trying to stream HD movies on a 56K dial-up modem - there just isn't enough bandwidth!

• Color Depth:
The amount of colours transmitted to your screen can make a huge difference to your picture quality. Most current TV and movie content is formatted for 8 Bit colour, or around 16.7 million available different colours to make up your picture. It sounds like a lot! However, consider that new standards like UHD Blu-Ray are now utilising 10 Bit colour, which is 1.07 billion available colours - in fact 64 times the amount of information as 8 Bit colour. We are seeing new technology demand greater things of the bandwidth of the cables we use to connect our sources to our screens, and older or budget price cables may not be able to handle the load.
