I ordered an S-Video cable from Monster Cables just now. By all reports this seems to be the best cable. I read many reviews of other cables and found that I wasn't alone-- many people reported the odd "screen door" effect to varying degrees that I experienced. The Monster Cable was the only one with no such reports, but many rave reviews.

I'll post a report when it arrives.

I got the Monster Cable the other day. It works great. Just for shits 'n giggles I tried the two cables (new Monster cable and the old "S-Video" cable) back to back. Man, that old one looks SO f*ckING BAD. It's even more apparent trying it back to back with the new one. The pictures I posted can't even convey how bad it truly looked in person.

That's such a sham that they marketed that other cable as an "S-Video" cable. I spent good money on it, but I feel I have no choice but to throw it away lest it fool another poor soul.
