The cable i'm using does look like good quality though and is thick as hell and had to bend it a bit when i got it out of the pack

On your tv, It should have an Info button on the remote, that'll tell you what resolution your running at.

Think about it this way, Digital in, digital out. There's no converting to analog so how is there going to be quality loss? but the shielding is the biggest problem with cheaper cables.

Will check on that and get back to you regarding the resolution on t.v

As for the quality loss, i was thinking way of thin cables bending and crimping the wires inside with moving things around catching em, cables coming loose with poor quality connections etc
Saying that if there wasn't any difference with cables why such the big price difference as i am sure a lot of people would go say £20 for a cable rather than £70 not just mugs

With other types of cables there is a huge difference, Component/composit/s-video etc. Because they are analog, When you have a digital source like a DVD player it has to convert to analog therefore you have quality loss.

It's a misconception with the price of cables, If you go to a best buy or circuit city of course there going to tell you that monster cables are the best, and you'll lose quality by getting a cheap hdmi cable. There job is to sell you shit you don't need.

Just google it dude, you'll see what I mean.

I think it has to do with the shielding.

If you saw the size of the manual you would understand, makes a good door wedge though

It could be an idea if the page is trimmed down and made a sticky, as some real useful info from mother and para, and this is mainly a movie site and hi def is the way the world is going, and frankly if you got a hi def tv hook and have the ability to hook it up to the tv do it, best thing i done in ages

RTFM

I'm not racist but Critics say that frequent users of the phrase (or similar variants) are simply expressing elitism, and that their attitude drives away newcomers without helping them. Their time could better be spent adding the question and answer to a FAQ, pointing the user to a helpful website, or simply not responding. They point out that RTFM is often used when it is not even clear which manual their correspondent should be reading. One of the most frequent criticisms of the open source community is lack of friendly support for newcomers. The Ubuntu Forums and LinuxQuestions.org, for instance, have instituted "no RTFM" policies to promote a welcoming atmosphere.

Reading the manual is rather important in this case. How many of us have HDTV's? How many of us have the same Model? or even the same Brand?

We can help with some of the basics but as far as features go on the TV we can't help with specifics.

I was eager to help Ripper with hooking his pc up to his tv, Most of that isn't going to be in the manual and how to do it, The manual will only be very basic.

So Ripper read the fuckin manual you lazy bastard
