Hdmi vs Non-Hdmi

Is there a big difference between hdmi and non hdmi . i can use 1080p but i am not sure .i just got a xbox 360 with no hdmi , not sure if there is a big diffrence.

Hdmi is slightly better, but you cannot really see the difference below 40"

ok thanks for this info

32 or 37

I have a 42" TV and it looks exactly the same with HDMI or Component (my tv does 1080p through Component as well as HDMI).

I noticed a difference on my tv which is 50". I think HDMI looks better. Colors are more vibrant, picture is sharper, more detail, blacks are deeper.

dont you need vga or hdmi to up convert standard dvd movies? that might be a consideration if you watch movies

Sound also works through HDMI... picture and sound quality is better imo.

As far as video quality is concerned, Component and HDMI are the same. They are both better than s-video, which is a little better than composite.

HDMI can carry High Definition audio, something component cannot do. But unless you have a sound system it shouldn't matter. HDMI also uses less cords so less tangle.

I notice a huge difference on my 32". Much sharper and clear, better colors, more depth to the picture. HDMI is the way to go, I'll never go back to componentDeathtransit

yeah lol i think you guys just have it stuck in your head that it's supposed to be better so you automatically think it's better...its the same exact thing its just all in 1 cable

Yeah, I've seen HDMI running a few times, and the difference isn't that great. I'd still get it if my TV supported it, but it's so I just know in my own head that I've got the best. Screen resolution is WAY more important.

Actually, component will only play DVDs at 480p.

Screen resolution doesn't matter that much as long as its under 40". 720p or 1080p you can't tell the difference under 40".
