I would recommend also connecting the composite cable - just in case the component output fails, at least you'll get a picture, or need to be able to run setup etc etc. Don't need expensive cable - just ordinary RCA run will do fine.

Always useful to have a backup, no?

Also, if sometime in the future you choose to run video via AV receiver switching, you will need the composite connection for setting up the AVR. It's useful to already have a cable put in now, so that you don't have to tear open the cabling to install one at a later date.

Meanwhile - have you checked prices for HDMI cables at Monoprice? You might even find a brother here selling some reasonably priced HDMI sourced from Monoprice. If you do go this route, make sure you also connect the composite, just in case.
