For the record I've never used monoprice, but the last hdmi cable I bought at walmart because I couldn't wait for shipping. It was $24 for a 6' cable, still works fine a couple years later.
*edit* maybe it was hdmi 1.3 and 1.4 . I forget. it was stupid either way

It is HDMI 1.3, well that is what exists. It is untrue that only Monster uses it. And for the record, I checked 1.4, and it is "3840×2160p at 24Hz/25Hz/30Hz and 4096×2160p at 24Hz, which is a resolution used with digital theaters"
This is twice the HD we have now and will take years for it to come to consumer televisions, meaning when 1.4 comes out, it won't have any effect on any of us.
From what I am reading, 1.3 decodes HD audio, and 1.0-1.2 don't. So 1.3 is worth it?
