Engadget says they’ve caught Fry’s electronics and Monster Cable pulling a fast one on their customers, again. They first noticed this cute little display last year, but it’s apparently still being used. Here’s how it works.

Two TVs are set beside each other along with a sign that says “See the Monster HDMI Difference.” Trouble is, the “Monster set” (on the right) is connected to its source via an HDMI cable, while the “non-Monster set” (on the left) is connected via composite cable. As in, the lamest looking signal next to using an RF modulator.

Sketchy.
