No. In fact, no manufacturers cable directly affects the "speed" of motion on a display.

Protecting Your Equipment From Mother Nature

I'm here to talk about protecting your A/V gear from mother nature.  It's true.  Never leave your flat panel TV out in the rain.  I kid, I kid. 

Seriously though, the lightening storm that passed over my house while I lay in bed last night had me thinking and worrying a bit.  Should I run around my home and unplug all of my electronics?  Nah.  What are the chances?

Well, the chances may be somewhat slim, but guess what?  Someone's A/V is struck dead every time there's a lightening storm.  How do you prevent that?

Monster has been taking a beating the last few years in their flagship cable department.  With digital connections and HDMI (meaning less cables needed) the need for many cables has disappeared. Also the argument as to why an expensive cable is needed over an inexpensive one when it's just digital bits passing through is being met with solid disagreement. 

Lucky for them they have a great line of power products.  There's other companies too and you can do the research or hire me to consult for you.  The point is that a company like Monster has an array of power conditioners and power protection to protect your gear from lightening strikes and power surges that can destroy electronic equipment.  Whether your modest system needs only a power strip (please, don't think a $20 strip from Wal-Mart will protect you) or you need a heavy duty component to handle all of the amplification your system has.
