Monster, in tandem with RedMere, have produced SuperThin powered HDMI cables which are only 3.5mm thick. The wallet-thinning-priced HDMI cables reportedly feature RedMere MagnifEye Active technology which boosts HD signals directly in the cable itself without the need for an external power supply or heavy-gauge copper.

What exactly does that mean? Is there even anything such as a powered HDMI cable? And are these possibly HDMI 1.4 cables since there is a high speed variant? Oh Monster, how unclear can you be?!

Monster SuperThin HDMI cables are priced quite unattractively (Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!):
