HDMI Connections - 08/31/05 10:38 AM
Anyone using the DVI or really more specifically the HDMI connections between DVD & TV?? Is there that much of a difference between those and component or optical for video & audio??
In reply to:Thanks. Good input. I just bought a Samsung DLP with HDMI and will eventually get a new DVD player with the same. For now, I'll just use component cables for video and optic for audio. I'm wondering if the HDMI is that much better since it's a combo AV cable.
In reply to:If I understand correctly, you're asking if component will only send a 480i signal? Yes. It has to be synced to NTSC standard sync.I have seen a few recent comments stating that component is only good for 480i which I find hard to believe...

Thyname, if you DLP tv has a DVI connection, you can get a HDMI to DVI cable for DVD players that upconvert over HDMI. That is what I did for my Sanyo Z2, as it has a DVI port, but my Panny S97S has HDMI. Both DVI and HDMI carry a digital video signal, HDMI just adds the audio, which you really don't need for projectors
