I am told by a reliable ISF source (and friend) that unless you are going into a data grade device the DVI advantage is wasted (although he has installed them for customers who insist).

What's the point in owning a Ferrari if you drive in central London only.
It's overkill. Component cables of decent build (often RG6 with rca tips gives optimal performance) is as much as you need. Some expensive cables make a difference, but we're talking about a source here that only carries a fraction of the information a TV is capable of displaying. No point.
- I agree with Joe! My Bravo D-1 looks FABULOUS on my Sony 500" Projection HDTV! - Paul in Sterling 19:46:24 04/14/04 (2)
  The DVI is much better than the Component! A no brainer!
  Good Luck...

  In no special order:
  #1 At least one less A/D D/A conversion with a digital display
  #2 Less video noise
  #3 At least equal, but usually more accurate signal transfer
  #4 One cable vs three cables for video
  #5 Scaling in DVD players with DVI outputs is better than the scaling in most displays
  #6 In displays 42" and up the advantages become more apparent
  #7 Do I really need a #7?
