Not a big deal to me as I have spare component inputs on my TV/monitor, it's the DVI inputs that I'm rather short of. 'Sides, I don't think one can see any difference between component vs HDMI @720P (at least, I don't think so......) :)Quote:

Is there really going to be that much a difference in image/sound quality? My AV receiver doesn't have a HDMI input, so I wouldn't even be able to use this to the full potential. I think the only HDMI input I have is on my TV, but I don't want to go back to TV speaker sound. Than again now I have a good excuse to upgrage my receiver :)
If your tv has an HDMI input I'm sure it has audio outputs on it...just run the audio outputs to the receiver and voila!Quote:

I don't think it has digital audio outputs. I would like to keep Dolby Digital instead of using Prologic (analog).Quote:

I personally have not seen 720p via component vs HDMI.
but from my knowledge this is the connection quality from worst to best
COAX < COMPOSITE < S-VIDEO < COMPONENT < VGA < DVI/HDMI
(as far as I know DVI and HDMI is same signal/quality going to TV only difference is HDMI have audio and encryption. so when I refer to DVI I mean HDMI too)
at least for me going from VGA to DVI on my LCD and HDTV I see a big difference in sharpness and color vibrance. but then again I'm using around 1600x1200 high resolution.
so if u think about it Component is further down the quality line than HDMI so it should be less quality. but then again I do not know if there will be a big noticable difference since it's only 720p resolution.
Doesn't HD DVD required HDMI, or is that just Sony's standard.
I think so.Quote:

My TV can't do 1080p, so that's another upgrade. I'm feeling broke already. Actually, I don't want to upgrade my main TV cause it's too heavy to move. Sony Vegas are heavy.
I have 2 LCD TV/monitors that do up to 1080i, so I ain't bothered about this. I am, however, gonna take a closer look at TV/monitors that do 1920x1080 natively. Oddly enough, my 37" Benq LCD TV/monitor has 1920x1080 panel, but does only 1080i.....guess it's limited by its processor. Regardless, when HD DVD and Blu-ray (and their accompanying software) become readily available, I'd prolly get a 1080P TV.........sometime next year I guess.
My gaming TV was outdated when I bought it refurbished 5 years ago. It has a built in VCR that doesn't work, and you have to use a remote to turn it on and off because the button is broken. Also, if you accidentally tap the A/V cables, the whole thing gets all screwy and you need to put them back in just the right position.
All this HD news just really doesn't have much effect on me. I'm hoping to pick up an HDTV during the holidays.
You mean it only does 1080i through HDMI? Doesn't it do 1080p through DVI?Quote:

Thanks for not answering my question. If the answer was obvious I wouldn't have asked.Quote:

The XR57 only supports HDMI 1.1 from the opinions of random people, since no one seems to know for sure (thus the reason I asked in the first place).
Well, I ain't got anything that does 1080O so I can't say. I have a coupla HDMI DVD players that can do up to 1080i only. I've read somewhat that some have managed to force 1080P res on this particular model, but only a few have managed this. It has only 1 DVI input, with a couple of sets of component inputs. I'm lookin' for an upscaling DVD player that outputs 720P/1080i via component cables, though there are a few models available, I do prefer standard tray players, not slot-in types which seems to be the fad these days. :mad:Quote:
