O.K....laugh at me. I got a couple of people DVD players for Christmas. You know the $25 buck ones with a rebate everyone had for sale this year. Anyway, the instructions say that the component cables give the best picture. I went to Radio Shack first and they were selling a fat looking set for around $35 or $40. I said they look just like fat patch cords with RCA plugs. Got a story about them being better shielded or something. Went to Best Buy and got the same story. Went to Good Guys and got the same story again. It was the day befor Christmas and the Good Guys guy would knock off $15 since I was getting a couple of sets. So I got the Monster Cables!
Picture is better, but the thing was I couldn't find any regular patch cords with RCA plugs at these places. Think they removed them to sell the monster cables? Cables cost more than the DVD players. And there were different "levels" of cables. I got the cheapest, but the pricey-est was $160 or something!!!!!
