HDMI, S video, reg cable???

[BadMoFo]

ok I will be getting my new flat screen hdtv this week so I went ahead and upgraded my cable box to a hd box. well on the back it has the normal cable output, then it has s video, then hdmi cable. being I still live in the stonage I have no clue what the difference is in these cables. which one is better?


for reference I will be getting a 1080 50 in plasma. also plan on getting a ps3 latter down the road. what cable do I want and where is a good place to buy?:shrug:

 

[hoamskilet]

I would get an HDMI cable from either
FireFold.com - HDMI | HDMI Cable | HDMI Switch | HDMI Splitter| Wall Mount | Bracket | TV Mount | Cat5E | Cat6 | Firewire

or

HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more!

DO NOT pay for an expensive hdmi cable

Ya you want to run an HDMI cable and as posted above look at monoprice.com.

 

[2003SLVRSNAKE]

Yup, HDMI

Yup, you're going to want to use a RF Modulator for the best possible quality.

HDMI. Also, if your TV only has one HDMI input, you can buy an HDMI-DV cable and your PS3 will still be in 1080. Thats what i have to use

i got the $.05 one on ebay, it wasnt shielded.. get a shielded one... still 5 bucks on monoprice.com i noticed when i had another device on (dvd) , while watching tv, id get some fuzzy interference... switched to shielded and fixed!

 

[DSG04Lightning]

agree HDMI

If you're gonna have hd tv, hd cable and ps3 then you definately need an hdmi cable. If you only have 1 hdmi input on the tv you can get an hdmi switch box or you can get yourself a nice av reciever like this one I picked up over the weekend. It has 5 hdmi inputs and 2 hdmi outputs along with speaker zoning and ipod capabilities.

Showoff!

Another note about the HDMI. I mounted my TV to the wall, the bracketry I have for mine makes allowances to run the cable inside the arms and through the joints of the bracket. A 6' cable is a little short for that, go with an 8-9'.

ok so I go to the site (monoprice) and they have tons of hdmi cables. 24awg, 26, awg, 28awg, and I have no idea what any of that means?

oh and my tv has 4 hdmi inputs.

Tell us Mr. Best Buy, why should we pay an inflated price?

it has nothing to do with best buy....signal quality. electricity has always done better with different wire guages and wire shieldings.
