Summary: This is an 8 Meter cable
Review: The part number is actually MVSV3-8M which makes this clearer. Not sure why Amazon isn't including cable lengths in their descriptions...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Allows Potential Of Components To Come Through
Review: These cables will not make your old tired components the equivalent of a brand new DVD player. You will still need a good DVD player and a good TV. However, I found a marked difference in the quality of the video on my TV when compared to the bargain basement cables I originally used. Keep in mind my TV is only two years old and my DVD player is only three months old, and both components are higher end components, so I was starting with a good baseline of equipment.

If these cables don't show a marked improvement, consider whether it was the cables or the components.

Also, if you are not a picky video viewer, you will probably not think the increased video quality is worth the cost of these cables.

Summary: Definitly worth it if you want the best
Review: This cable isn't cheap. So why pay so much for it? Why not just buy a cheap s-video cable? Because the quality suffers. They don't just jack up the price for no reason. Gold tipped connecters, more shielding from interference, thicker wire, and better quality materials used provides a better picture. Colors are more vibrant, the whole picture more defined. You get what you pay for, and this Monster Cable is definitly proof of that. I have this cable and it is worth it. Monster all the way.

Summary: This Product Won't Make Your System Better
Review: This cable will not make your system better. It will allow your system to perform as well as it possibly can. The quality of this product is typical of Monster Cable products. Excellent materials and workmanship are evident throughout.

I'm not one to believe marketing literature but I do see a signal improvement with this product over some bargain basement cables. Shielding is important in video cables. Though all S-video cables are inherently shielded by design, Monster goes the extra mile and shields this cable once again. This is overkill but I do feel it is necessary. A 2 meter version of this product shows no appreciable signal loss when directly compared with a 1 meter version.

I used to be one of those fanatics who made his own interconnect cables. But I discovered some years ago that Monster Cable interconnects were of at least equal quality for a fairly reasonable price.

This mid-range product is well worth the price. You can spend much more and not get that much more. But you are likely to get less if you spend less.

Summary: The Only way to go!
Review: Without getting into specific minute details, that to me really make the biggest difference in video, I would absolutely get nothing else in a S video cable, if I were you! There is no reson why you should be watching your DVD movies without the best technology has to offer in transfering the image to your screen. Obviousely I would first recommend a high quality television, and a stellar DVD player as well! Using these cables on anything less would be like using 95 octane gasoline on a Geo (ie defeating the purpose of high performance!)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I am unable to verify its ultra high performance
Review: ~I bought the MVSV3-1m cable and put it between my Pioneer V555 DVD player and SONY WEGA tv KV-27FS12, I was unable to see with my naked eyes any improvement regading the visual quality, color, sharpness. Same as the result as I used the composite cable came with the box. I really don't know why. I have to say, my TV is a good one and the picture quality is already satisfactory even I don't use DVD player. Unfortunately my DVD player does not have component jack to let me try the next level video~~ experience. I don't want to say this expensive cable is a poor one, I was just unable to verify its alledged ultra high performance. we just don't have a benchmark to evaluate it.~
