They are the king of high quality and extremely fair priced cables out of any e-tailer I've ever known.
I've ordered numerous types of cables from them (monitor, SATA, ethernet, toslink, even PS2 component cables!) and they ooze quality. Have a lot of other products as well (IDE to SATA converter which I needed for my old Seagate drive), but I don't think they're as high quality as their cables, which is hard to live up to because their cables blow that 'monster cable' brand out of the water.
Gotta say I wish I was one of you guys. I've encountered probably $500 of Monoprice cables and gear and I would never go out of my way to declare it all "high quality". In my experience, its average and usually works.
Random problems:
-The projector and TV wall mounts are not high quality. I've used the full spectrum of mounts, the Monoprice mounts are junk but generally work.
-Low quality screws and bolts in every mount, including bolts that were missing threads
-Loose fitting optical cables
-Poor flexibility of HDMI and RCA cables
-HDMI "speckles" using a long Monoprice HDMI cable to get to a ceiling mount projector. With multiple Monoprice cables. Replaced with a different manufacturer and the long cable run worked fine for years.
-DVI cable that didn't work with my DisplayPort -> DVI adapter in an Eyefinity configuration. Replaced with a APC branded cable for $12 on Amazon and it works perfectly
-Speaker wires that were short by many feet if you actually measured it
-Finicky as shit IR repeaters / extenders
