A quick review of the product: 480i cable looks terrible, waiting for HD to arrive in our area, 480i DVD looks pretty good, considering the signal. So I have a lot of room to upgrade, next month I'm going to get the Denon 1910 to upgrade from my Bose 321 media center, and I'm also going to upgrade to monster cables. Anyhow, the TV was a vast improvement over our previous one, and we got it for $1,499. Definitely worth it if you are on a tight budget.

A word on Monster Cables...the concensus thus far on this forum suggests that Monster Cables really don't noticably show an improvement. They're good-looking cables with a lifetime warranty, and they carry some prestige to fellow Home Theatre enthusiasts. I've purchased a number of Monster Cables (Component3, Optical, Woofer) and also a bunch of cheap cables from Wal-Mart. I've yet to see/hear a difference in anything.
It sounds like you are on a tight budget (like me, only in college). You may be straining your wallet more than its worth with Monster Cables.
