should i get an hdmi cable or component cable for my samsung 26 inch 720p lcd hdtv. the reason im asking is beacuse its 720p and i want to know if it will make a difference. also can someone tell me what hdmi cables are the best.
If your component inputs support 720p as well, which it should,it would not really matter. Unless you want your audio and video signal to be carried on one cord, opposed to splitting up the video signal and carrying the sound on another cord. But that is up to you :)

HDMI cables aren't as expensive as people make them out to be, but indeed it really just is preference in your case.
If you go with component you will NOT be able to upscale DVD's. Unless that has changed. HDMI is what you should do to get the most out of your PS3 and HDTV. You will miss "something" if you go with component. That one thing everyone is talking about.
HDMI would be the best and it really doesn't matter where they come from, there are several on the market that are cheaper than component cables while some are just a little more.
I got my PS3 last January and foolishly paid $110 for my HDMI cables. My fiance actually went and grabbed them off the rack while I was talking to the sales guy (I was getting my TV that same day). I got owned.
Anyways, HDMI is the way to go if you can do it. You can't get 1080p for blu-ray movies over anything but HDMI so if you intend to use it as a BR player you need HDMI.
