HDMI cables

Recommended Posts

You only need HDMI cables to hook something up to the TV to input a HD feed such as a HD DVR or a Playstation 3. If you have something like an old school DVD player it won't even have a HDMI hook up.

Go online or go to Sam's club to buy one. You shouldn't ever pay more than $20 for one.

Well, in the US that is. Just don't buy high dollar HDMI cables. They're a ripoff.

best place to get a good, cost effective HDMI cable.

Component will be just fine for HD video from your cable box. HDMI has the advantage in that you can send audio AND video from your source to the TV. Component is the Blue, Red, and Green. Don't use the yellow video cable or S video because they will not send a HD signal.

Welcome to the land oF HDTV =) You won't go back =)

EDIT: Also make sure you get the HD Cable box from your provider. Otherwise you won't be able to get the actual HD signal from your cable company. You can get an over the air antenna to pick up HD signals from your locally broadcast, over the air stations.

Overpriced HDMI = teh Debil. Don't pay more than $10 for a 6' cable. Hell, $20 is too much for me when I can order one off monoprice for uber cheap. And monoprice cables are very high quality. I have been nothing but pleased with both my monoprice HDMI cables.

But you definately DO want to go HDMI. Component is an analog HD signal, you're going t want to go digital to get all yo ucan from your new TV. Dont worry too much about the 1080p, youre not gettin that from any other source than a BluRay, or a now defunct HD DVD. But these guys are right, do not pay lots, theyre available cheap, but just as good all around. And none of yous should be patronizing BstBuy anyway. Go buy a $100 item, pay in cash, then try to return it the next day with your reciept. You will get a gift card for $85. Unless you charge it and then dispute it. BB thinks that once youve spent your money with them, it should stay with them. Denied. Sorry about the rant, I hope I saved someone some loot...

That's what I'm really curious about. Part of me wants to go pure digital....well, just because. But if component cables work just as well then I guess I'll stick with that.

I think this is the TV I got(although it was $50 cheaper), so it's not like I'm dealing with top of the line stuff.

And I'll never buy an expensive digital cable. Salesmen upsell them to people who obviously have no clue what digital means. A bit is a bit is a bit - as long as the cable can carry a bit from location A to location B it's a good cable.

Thanks fellas.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
