Ok here's the breakdown..

Are monster cables and accessories worth it image/sound quality wise? NO

Do you need quality cables? YES

Should you buy Monster? Only if it's the only quality product in the store.

See cheaper cables do inherit noise that affect signals, including if the signal is digital.

See digital requires bandwidth,,, more noise on the line and interference the less avail bandwidth. You wont notice it on anything under 720p with 5.1+ audio though. They're the only things that really need that kind of bandwidth.

Analogue is even more important. I wont buy high end audio cables or vdeo cables unless 720p and up though. I will go to the dollar store and pickup the shielded 1/4 inch thick cables. They are very well shielded.

Quality of construction is very important. Do you really want to put a cheap HDMI connector into your 2000 dollar TV? I sure as hell don't. HDMI breaks off very easy and if not perfect can fuck up the pins and sockets of the hdmi slots.

I picked up Futureshop's banded "Rocketfish" cables and its best of both worlds, Good shielding, decent connectors and still cheap enough.
