i have just try on the elite today and i notice if using the component cable the rendering colour will be nicer ? and if i using HDMI the colour will be darker a bit izit? both are in 1080i on my samsung and both are ori cable from MS, so confuse on this 2 cable to choose which 1 to use cos i fell like the component make it colour more bright look nicer and when i try on HDMI i never notice any special? not event sharper?and i tot HDMI is the best output?

hard to choose which 1 to use

don't be fooled. HDMI are marginally better on sending the signal than component. but for 720p/1080i/1080p, hdmi and component are identical.

HDMI all the way baby !! Ever heard of Giraffe HDMI cables? (They cost RM220 - RM550 !!)

HDMI gives the "purest" of audio+video... I don't know about others, comparing HDMI to anything else, but I just want to say this is "THE" HD cable on the planet !!

i prefer components colours on my tv. more vivid.

hdmi is much better IMO
i tested on bravia v series with ps3..
the color and n graphic super crisp la..
i have no complaint..

and HDMI suppose to support 7.1 audio
optical only 5.1

only if u got the latest amp with hdmi.

are there any games that has 7.1 yet?

Resistance: Fall of Man does. There is a difference in sharpness btwn component vs hdmi but it's not noticeable with 720p, only on 1080p then it's more apparent.

I fully agree. I tried HDMI from PS3 and Component from xbox360, the HDMI is way too dark.

what about VGA since i'm planning to hook my Xbox 360 Premium to a monitor.

The monitor supports both VGA and HDMI, but the HDMI cable costs more...

not sure if the picture quality justifies the price difference.

could it be that your TV isnt calibrated?

I've tested my 360 using component and VGA. VGA definitely looks sharper on my 42" plasma compared to component, but the colors are less vivid.

ic, thanks for the feedback...

how much is the VGA cable? I heard its around RM 100 right?

For PS3 you are supposed to adjust the HDMI settings to FULL RGB and super white.

Don't forget in order to get the best of any connection, you'll need to calibrate it.

You are right, tried that and indeed it improve the picture quality.

Thanks.

SCART rules all

any way =.= i was asking in xbox not ps3 so any xbox coment?

To answer your question based on my personal experience with these two interface, with my eyes (short-sighted, BTW) cannot tell any different in Picture Quality. Maybe the significant difference between HDMI and Component is, HDMI transmit both Audio and Video, Component can't do that.

I am using VGA on my 42" SKYWORTH plasma TV hehehehe. It look better then the rest that i've seen. The only thing that i missed is home theater speakers
