Monster cable adds entry priced cables to its line up with the addition of a standard speed, value line. The 1-meter MC 500HD cable has a retail price of $49.95. That’s still a lot of money for an entry level cable, you can get 6 meter cables from other brands for less money.

Noel Lee, Head Monster, says: "By making our entry-level HDMI cables even more accessible, we're providing consumers with a more affordable alternative for enjoying high-performance HDMI connectivity. We now offer a wide variety of cable at price points and performance levels for virtually every need and budget, from the MC 500 HD for people who simply want to enjoy the best quality from today's high-def products to MC1000HD for those who want 100% assurance that they'll also be able to enjoy the optimum performance from all in the future pipeline as well. With our MC 500HD value-priced line, we're also giving our retailers what they've been asking for, namely, a lower-priced, high-quality cable that will provide complete satisfaction to their discriminating customers - at a price everyone can afford."

If a 1 meter cable isn’t long enough for your needs, the standard speed line can also be had in longer lengths. A 4 meter cable costs $99.95, 6 meter is $124.95, and a 2 meter is $69.95. The cables all feature the same DoubleHelix construction and support for 720p and 1080i video. The cables also support HDMI-CEC for automated setup and control of home theater products.
