The component cables are good for everything up to 1080i, but HDMI is required for 1080p (blu-ray). I think some HD Cable broadcast at 1080p, but I don't know this for a fact. Just get an HDMI from Fry's online. You can get three cables for under $20 most of the time.
Component Video cables vs HDMI
Hi all:
I just upgraded to Hi-Def cable TV and the provider gave me a set of component video cables at no extra charge. I've got the box connected and the Hi-Def channels look terrific (Sony Bravia LCD HDTV). Just wondering if anyone feels I would improve the video even greater if I went with an HDMI interconnect instead using of the component video cables?
