Soldato
Hi,
I've just purchased a nice new 1080p 32" panny TV. I double checked that a HDMI cable was included in the box and it wasn't
I asked the sales person what cable they would recommend and they recommended me an £85 cable! £85 for a cable - is this normal?
What they said about the spec of the cable matching the spec of the TV (E.g. cable should be 1080p, 24 bit compatible, 100Hz etc.) made sense - cheapest cable I could find in store matching those specs cost £65.
Do I really need such an expensive cable to link my tv and blu ray together, "to get the most out of my tv" as they put it?
Thanks
EDIT: have also thought noticed my blu ray can accept a conenction via component - now I have a component cable from from xbox 360 - will the quality of blu ray disks be worse using component over hdmi?
