Sometimes the cable costs even more than the unit itself.Good cables make a huge difference!! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> -Justin<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndYou're very wrong on that front. That only makes a difference with analogue cables HDMI simply carries a series of 1's and 0's and therefore is not affected by the normal problems that cheap analogue cables have.It's simply on or off, no in between. The fact you think that, is what makers of expensive cables prey on. If you don't believe me, ask any AV expert. If you pay more than £20 for your HDMI, you've been ripped off and conned by a hype thats simply not true. DO NOT BUY EXPENSIVE HDMI CABLES!!!!!!

I'm not one to be sold by salespeople at any store.I used cheap cables at first and the picture quality wasn't near what I expected.The Blacks especially and also gradients were very blocky. I bought better cables and no longer have that problem.Maybe the first cables I bought were "too cheap", IDK. But better cables gave me better quality.Again, just my own experience.-Justin<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndYou are right to a certain extent. Audio cables are affected by a number of things - oxygen content in the copper, quality of the soldering for the connecters, metal type used on the connectors. Best to get mid-range cables. Get the most expensive and you've been mis-sold, get the cheapest and you may be lucky to get a good sound, but on the whole it could be better. Remember, unlike HDMI, analogue cables actually carry an electrical current and so anything that may cause resistance in the cable will affect the quality of the sound/picture.

oh and i forgot to add , you can go out to Walmart and pick up the same kind as i have which is a Magnavox and at the time i only paid $300 but now it's down to $280 while most others are still around the $400-$500 range and it is so amazing . just something to think about and yes i do also have a PS3 but i prefer to not play movies on there lol mike,

I think I paid $30 or $40 for my HDMI cable and the picture is incredible. I run off a PS3 that I bought specifically for blu-ray. Upscalers are for suckers if you ask me; just buy a blu-ray player. An upscaled DVD will never look as good as a blu-ray disc.

Yeah, forget the upconvert DVD player and just get a Blu-ray stand alone or PS3. No upconvert can compare to the actual blu-ray. The best looking films I've seen so far : Crank, The Shining, Blade Runner.The classics look amazing too... Halloween, Dawn & Day of the Dead.
