Recently I bought a HD T.V and happily pluged in my HDMI and baithed in the goodness but just today I saw a Video saying that RCA/Component has a better refresh rate or no refresh rate and it is better to play with that.

dose anyone have any insite on this?

Without a doubt hdmi is better. I just went from launch 360 with component to new slim with hdmi, made a world of a difference. This might have been also because my tv couldnt do 1080p with component, but I know hdmi is better all around

Yup, HDMI is digital and carries the most data (including audio optionally). Component is analog, video only up to usually a max of about 1080p and like the previous poster indicated not all TVs support 1080p over component. RCA is analog standard definition (non HD) and stereo audio only.

RCA -can- carry mono or stereo just like the video signal -can- carry black and white. Component -can- carry 480i instead of 1080p.

What does any of this have to do with the TC's question?

Absolute rubbish. There is no scenario in which RCA or component are superior to HDMI or DVI.
