Just about any cable, wire or cord other than Monster... literally. Their $30-40 HDMI cables are no better than any of the $4 HDMI cables that can be purchased at monoprice.

All of the home audio cables with their "gold connectors for better throughput" is a load of nonsense and no better than most generic alternatives... or even a wire coat hanger for that matter:
"The group was A/B-ing different cables, and unbeknownst to them, the engineer running the test swapped out a set of cables for coat hangers with soldered-on speaker connections. Not a single one was then able to tell the difference between the Monster Cable and the hangers"
Audiophiles can't tell the difference between Monster Cable and coat hangers -- Engadget

Monster products are consistently pushed by retail outlets because they receive an extremely high marginal revenue.
