Well may I say, have you researched the company "monster"? no....obviously not, they are THX certified, Michael Jackson has personally recorded albums via these cables, star wars was also recorded via these!!! I suggest you look at this site http://www.monstercables.com/company_info/ ultimately again this is a typical case of "the cheap one will do" well, people do not understand "you pay for what you get" and by cutting corners your just doing yourself out of anyhting decent.

I suggest you maybe pream the webs away from your wallet while your down "the market" Johnnie McDougall...10 December 2002

This isn't really a complaint, so why is it on here?!?
Its just a sad old man wanting to moan about something that Johnnie sums up perfectly. Get a life!!! John Bennett...1 January 2003

We purchased a Philips TV and Video from Comet Store in Tamworth
plus we were advised to take out the Service contract for extra 4 years, at a cost of £169.99 for TV and £69.99 for Video.

Recently the children have stood on the top of the remote control and whilst it still works it is looking a bit worse for ware. We took it to our local store as told by the service agent, who then said would have to return it to the said agent for repair. When I asked what I have to do in the mean time as my TV is solely controlled fro DVD, Satelite and Video via the EX1 and EX2 via the remote, they said 'sorry we can offer no replacement for the time the item was being repaired'. (May I add at this time that a comment about never seeing a repaired item being returned but always replacement being made by someone in the Comet Store).

As I feel that this is a very poor customer relations situation I would appreciate your advice. TV Model 28PW6332C replacement controller £22.27 delivered via another supplier is this really to much for such a large supplier to replace with the shops advice that the item is not repairable.

I actually work for a comet competitor
and was overly amused when i bought a digital receiver from them to be told that i had to buy this monster scart otherwise the set would not work. Lo and behold the scart cable that came with the set was actually faulty ! lol.

The thing is this - Scart cable come in many guises some are composite and use one pin to send three colours down ie the chepa ones from the market , dont touch there , most however are full 21 pin and work just fine, considering a high quality audio buff 30 quid scart would be ok but for the fact that digital boxes are of low quality and hammered out in the thousands so even the best scart in the world wouldnt improve the quality , unless im sorely mistaken neither B&O or BOSE make digital receivers yet ?

Surely if your child stood on the remote and it is damaged it is
your responsibilty, not the retailers for keeping control of you children???

The woman with the remote control
really should control her children - Comet can't be held responsible for her child care - and shouldn't be held for judgement for her failings. John Bennett... 2 February 2003

I would like to emphasise the previous comments on the monster cables,
all the sales person was doing from what i can see was making sure that you didnt get home, and not be able to use it!! good customer service i think, if he hadnt offered it, you would be pi**ed off because you cant use it.

Also the lady with the remote, did you actually think before you wrote that, why would the store just have random remotes in stock, if you think of how many tv's you see on display, it would be impossible to have a spare or loan for them all, also by saying that £22 isn't much for a big company to fork out, if you think of how many children have broken remotes in the past, the £22's soon add up, im sure that i wouldnt start giving money out left right and centre, its got to come from somewhere!!! if i worked for that company i would be disgusted to hear such complaints!!!!

Hello I work for comet, and i get this all the time, now this is how it goes, any scart lead will be fine for any telly, digy box etc, but as it was said you get what you pay for, for instance don't you think there is a differnece in the cable that is £5 and the one that is £60? There is and its huge and you will notice it. However comet staff are wrong in the WAY they sell it, but whats the point of going to comet to spend £1000 on a tv package (get the best TV and dvd u can buy) when if you use the leads they give away in the box gives you a rubbish picture what would be the point of buying the telly?)

They give the leads away for a reason because they are cheap. Same goes for the digy box, what's the point of buying a digy box that gives you a digital signal when if you use the £5 scart your get a rubbish picture? and for those who think monster is rubbish, do or have you ever used monster cable? if so what did you use it on?

I also work for Comet,
monster cables are offered due to the fact that scart cables that come with the product are of a very low grade quality. Monster products use gold connectors and also have a lifetime guarantee. Get what you pay for. Mike .. 27 November 2003
