How extreme is the picture difference using component cables with Blu-Ray player?

Question

I'm currently using Monster component cables to connect my Blu-Ray player to my 720p LCD TV because it doesn't have an HDMI slot. Am I really missing a lot?

Answer 1

It depend on your TV size and how close you are in front of it.  I got a 1080P projector and old xbox 360 that output on Component video.  Watch King Kong on HD DVD show me a very bad picture quality, picture is not rich and vivid as My New Xbox 360 with HDMI 1.3.  MY screen is also 90 inch, so I can see any flaw in video quality.

Answer 2

The only difference at 720p between

the two connections is convenience

of the connection (i.e. three connec-

tions as opposed to just one).  If you

ever get a 40" or larger 1080p HDTV,

then HDMI would be the desired choice.
