Thanks. What do you mean by HD cables? Component? HDMI? You should check www.svideo.com. They are good.

I wonder if I need good cables ? You'll need component cables, and I believe Comcast will provide them. Don't get suckered into spending a mint on cables. Component cables are 3 cables for video. You'll see them labeled as RGB, or Pb, Pr, and Y. I personally make my own from RG6 coax cable, and just solder the ends on, because I have my TV and my component in two different rooms, on opposite sides of a wall. It enabled me to make a cable exactly the length I wanted, and I ran the wires without the ends on so I wouldn't have to have a huge hole to feed them through. BUT, I have used successfully any number of prebuilt cables that come with DVD players. You won't be able to tell the difference. The only people that will tell you they can see a difference are those that dropped $100 on 3 6 foot cables, and probably are trying to justify the expense. |

I wonder if I need good cables ? Comcast will also bring the cables that you need. Most likely they'll bring component cables and they'll work fine. There will be three cables used for the video, and two for the sound. You can buy an HDMI cable that will carry the video and sound all in one thinner cable. Comcast normally doesn't supply an HDMI cable. The advantage of the HDMI cable is that it is one cable instead of five. Some people think there is an improvement by using an HDMI cable, but most people can't see a difference. You'll be amazed at the quality of an HD picture either way. |

I wonder if I need good cables ? I found a set of Component Cables at my local BigLots for $6.99 and the audio for $4.99. But if order from monoprice.com, I suggest you get all the cables you need in one order, that way you're always be prepared. |
