Do I need HDMI Cables for my HDTV, or can I use the component cables that came with my HD cable box?
You don't need HDMI cables for an HD signal, but if you want to get maximum resolution for your tv (1080 p) you do. The short answer is no, you do not need HDMI Cables just to get an HD signal. BUT HDMI cables transfer the higher-resolution images at a faster rate, giving you a much better picture.
Can component cables give you 1080p quality standard?
"Component cables" normally refer to a set of three cables that carry analog television signals. There is an HD format for analog component signals but it does not support 1080p, only 1080i and 720p. In addition, equipment being sold from 2009 onwards does not support analog HD. Commercial pressure from program producers has resulted in HDMI being the only HD interface that is commonly available. HDMI supports content encryption to prevent copying of HD content and has replaced virtually all analog HD interfaces.
Can you use component Video cables for height definition video?
= Answer = Yes. Component cables can carry an HD signal. DVI and HDMI are the preferred ways to transfer an HD signal though because the signal is carried digitally across the cables as opposed to analoglly as with the component cables. = Answer = There are high definition analogue component interfaces around for HD televisions but they are not common. I believe that almost all new televisions will have only digital interfaces (HDMI or DVI for example). I have used some older plasma screens that only had analogue inputs, so analogue component was the only interface available. The simple answer is, if the monitor and the signal source both have analogue component interfaces, then you can use component cables. It's worth remembering that all HD sources are digital, whether on DVD or off air. There is no benefit in converting to analogue as it will need to be converted back to a digital signal for processing inside an LCD or plasma screen.
