HDMI and Component


Hi

I just ordered a Pioneer plasma (pdp427xd), but I am completely new to the HT world.

Question: what is 'the best' HDMI and Component cable, regardless of price?

This may seem a silly question, but don't forget I am a two channel freak... :-)

Thanks

I bought a cheap HDMI cable from http://www.mcminone.com/search.asp?keyword=hdmi+cable

for about $25 while I was waiting for a much more expensive back-ordered cable.

Finally got the back ordered cable, hooked it up. Unhooked it and returned it.

No difference. This surprised me.

Note: if your TV back is not accessible once the TV is in place, tape your HDMI cable in place as they have a tendancy to loosen as the hold is not very tight.

I do hear a lot of different opinions on how good HDMI really is, so make your own mind up. I am not that convinced it is really any better. But I also think the CRT TV has a better picture than the 50" plasmas I have owned!!!! HD or not.
