HDMI Cables worth it?

I'm going to buy a PS3 today and I was wandering if there's a difference between the A/V Cables and the component cables you can buy seperately? Is it worth buying them?KratosKilla

They are like $5.99 at www.monoprice.com that is where I got mine.

I compared both the official component cable from sony (ps2 version) and the HDMI connection, from QED Qunex range.

My tv doesn't support 1080p from component cables, but does with HDMI. On comparing the two, i found a little ghosting with the component cables, whereas the image was crystal clear with HDMI.

My advice is, if you're going to get HDMI cables, get decent ones. I recommend the QED Qunex HDMI-P cable. (even though it is purple:P) as i gives amazing picture quality.

Watching Casino Royale on Blu-ray is a whole other experience, especially the uncompressed sound, that only HDMI can deliver.

Basically, Component can output HD signal whereas AV couldn't. If your TV has a HDMI port, use it. With HDMI, you will get the best HD signal. :DThomas-Crown

That is not true, stop spreading lies.  This forum needs to minimize the number of A/V posts because no one in this forum knows crap about home theater.

Man you got suckered into buying the "better" cables, there is no difference in picture quaility between the $6 HDMI cables at monoprice and the $200 Monster HDMI cables the both output a digital signal and that signal is the same quality in both cables. There is only a difference if you are using alalouge connections like composite with cheap and expensive cables the expensive HDMI cables are only needed if you need to transmit the signal futher than ~25ft for almost all home theatere apllications there is absolutly zero difference, buy a HDMI cable but don't buy an expensive one it's a waste of moey, there are numerous articles on this issue if you need to confirm just search in google
