subject: Your Viewing Enjoyment Is Only As Good As Your Hdmi Cables [print this page] The only way to get the real performance and power from your audio and video components is to have them connected with the proper cables. In this day and age, you can no longer use regular old component cables, you have to upgrade to something better. What is better than component cables you may ask?
Well, if you have a high definition television and all of the high end components such as a Blu-ray player, DVD player or and game consoles, you will need to see if they are compatible with using HDMI cables. HDMI cables are the high definition cables that make the HD products that you have work to their full capacity. It would be like listening to a cassette tape on your high end stereo system, or getting the new Ford Mustang with a 4 cylinder.
You are not using the machines and tools for what they were designed to do. You would be holding the components back if you didn't invest in a decent set of HDMI cables. There are many kinds and many brands of HDMI cables, but you only have to remember that they are necessary and are not an option anymore. Sure, you could get away without using them, but then you would just look silly and feel as if though you gave up and didn't really try to make this thing work.
So if you want to get the best picture quality and best sound out of your equipment, then you have to use the proper cables. These cables are going to make a big difference whether you are watching movies on cable or satellite, or listening to music through your surround sound system. It will definitely make a difference if you are gaming or using a Blu-ray player. In fact, if you are using one of the HD components, if you do not use an HDMI cable then you aren't really getting HD quality sound and picture.
You made the investment in the equipment; you might as well be sure that you're getting your money's worth. And the only way to ensure that you're getting your money's worth is to have the proper cables to connect everything with. Most new televisions have enough of the HDMI hook-ups to make your life easier and to not make you pick and choose what you want to hear or see in HD clarity.
