Unless your old dvdp able to output 720p or 1080p via component, else it is still std def PQ.

Yes, Cheap component will better than expensive composite.

matrix, i think htkaki for some for sale, u try check with him

The above statement is the same as telling people this -

"No need to drive expensive car la, as long as it reaches my destination"

And yet you still see many people drive luxury cars around.

It's all about quality and affordability.

When you mentioned "bro,your hdmi cable not that 'cheap' la", is merely based on your own personal affordability.
But, I am comparing with current market price, ie Harvey Norman.

kkthen, the Audioquest and Panasonic HDMI perform the same in terms of audio (at least to my ears).

frankly speaking... we need good cable not expensive cable

digital is digital

else just cabling for data centre can COST a BOMB

Kekeke... When u pay RM200 for a 1.5m HDMI, psychologically will sounds better than a RM45 HDMI cable. Kekeke...

Anyway, enjoy la.

As long as you think what you paid is worth the money. For me, digital is digital.

How can digital signal gets deteriorated? My believe is when you send 101010, you'll receive 101010. If not, picture-wise, it's like you'll see dead pixels on screen when 101010 becomes 10101.

I can agree about bandwidth issues with longer cable, but the effect should not be picture quality, instead maybe just distortion like Astro while raining (I made that up, ).

How quality cable affects signal quality is true for analogues, but not digital (though there are some strange cases with digital coaxial, when sometimes cheaper cables not sounding as good).

Correct correct correct...

hmm..i don't know about HDMI, my first HDMi cable is alrd Monster cable..dun have the "cap ayam" one before, but for coaxial cable I really can notice big improvement from my Monster cable over my rm30 coaxial...even my friends and my brother can notice that the sound quality r actually better with Monster coaxial..

HDMI just a copper based cable carry highbandwithd signal

nothing fanci....

i work-d for enterprise storage b4..this kind of similar cable nothing fancy... used to transfer high cap. data at high speed

I've ordered a MONSTER S-video cable for my Astro

RM55 shipped for a 2M Ultra THX certified cable...OK boh??

Wow. That's cheap bro.

I use s-video to connect my Astro to my AVR and upscale to 1080i. If not using that, I only use the normal RCA direct to my TV.

But not with HDMI though, should be just the same.
