component?

It's the three wires (black, blue, green I think) usually connected to two (red, blue) audio wires.  It will put it through at 1080i for you.  Will look good.

thats how i did my xbox.

i do have a surround sound...guess ill do my monster cables that way.?

thank god i have to component hook up areas.

yup that's component cables.  they come through at 1080i.  i wouldn't mess with monster unless you've already purchased them, kinda a rip off.  1080i should look really clear/good like sd said.

I mean they look cool and all but arent all cables basically the same thing? About five years ago Monster was way ahead when it came to results but now you just pay for the name on the box.

You can get great cables from monoprice.com at a fraction of the cost of Monster. If you can't wait for them to get to you then you can go to Wal-mart and get a 6ft. HDMI for around $30. The Wal-mart cable is Phillips brand and has great picture quality



A suggestion.
are you good with a soldering iron?
Make your own.
Go to most hardware stores and you can get any size cable you want, buy the ends and away you go.
REALLY. And its about 1/2 the price.

word.  if you plan on getting HD channels from Time Warner or whoever is your cable/dish provider, you'll def want to use the component cables to hook that up too, otherwise you won't be watching HD but you will be paying for it.

Analog cables are not created equal, but Monoprice.com is def. the best bet.  Monster cables are a complete rip off.

Digital cables, it doesn't matter what you get - either the signal gets there or it does not.

WIRES ARE GREEN, BLUE AND RED. NO BLACK.

OK.  I thought that, if the 2 audio are combined with the three video, the video are black, green, blue because the audio are red and yellow.  Probably hallucinated that  :dunno:
