LVD: When I went to monoprice, I was overwhelmed by the different kinds of HD cables. I don’t know what to buy. We got a 51” Samsung plasma just before thanksgiving for $500. I want to get the cables but don’t know what to get. Also, do the coaxials that the satellite connects to, and distributes from the DVR to the other unit, need to be changed?
The only HD cables are HDMI, anything else is just companies lying about the differences in quality. Buy by foot and price, the cheapest ones that are long enough to make your connections. Don’t buy Monster, they’re the biggest liars.
jdub, I know a fair amount about HDTV cabling. What devices are you trying to connect to that HDTV? That will determine the cables you need.
If you can reply back with the make and model of each device, I can come up with the best connection options.
Some of the cables you have you may need to replace, others you might be able to keep. The specific devices you have, what output ports are on each device, and what input ports are on the TV will determine the best cable options for you.
