What is better HDMI Cables or the HD Compostie Cables? Or Same? and why?

-HDMI

HD CABLES

Or Same

Explain Please Thank You !The short answer is you should use HDMI because it is cheaper and easier and less work.



If you know what you are doing and have good equipment, you CAN get the same image quality from HD Rated component cables as you do from HDMI. But there are several issues and you have to know what you are doing. For example:



* Most people do not know how to find component cables rated for HD frequencies. Most component cables were designed for standard-def frequencies.



* Most people do not know you need to calibrate your display for your source and connection type.



* Most people do not know that the better TV's have separate color, brightness, contrast settings PER INPUT. They plug HDMI in one, Component in the other and try doing an A/B check and see a difference - then pick one as 'better' not realizing the TV is set differently for the two inputs.



* When you use Component, the TV has to do an Analog-to-Digital conversion of the signal. This can introduce artifacts. Less expensive models or brands tend to save money on this circuit which worsens the problem. HDMI circuits are cheaper and easier for televisions to process especially on budget models.



* Price: a few years ago a 'good' HD rated component cable was $55 and does not include audio. The same length HDMI cable was $30 and handled both video and audio. So HDMI is about half the price.



For all these reasons - most people should use HDMI whenever possible.



My advice: Go to Amazon and search for "Media Bridge" brand HDMI cables. I wired my daughters system with these last year and found them decently made and priced in the $8-$20 range depending on length.



If you want longer cables or in-wall cables go to www.bluejeanscables.com. They also sell HD rated component cables if you want to go that route.



(Years ago someone was testing Progressive Scan DVD players and they had some expensive component cables and some from BlueJeans. They were using video-analysis equipment to test the players but were shocked to find that the $100+ cables would shift the readings if you touched or moved the cables. But the BlueJeans cables did not have this issue so they re-did all their tests of the players using just the BlueJeans cable.)
go HDMI if you want HD audio and video



HDMI is the only way you get 1080p video transfer from your source

never buy from a retailer, overpriced big time
HDMI is way better when it comes to Audio/Video Quality. I never heard of HD Compositie Cable. if there is, then it must be the Composite was converted to HDMI? but I would say 100% use HDMI cable is my choice.
