  From reading plenty of posts on this topic, the consensus is: no consensus.
  Some praise the HDMI, some rant.
  I would guess this means that it all depends on WHICH source and WHICH Tv you have as to how well they combine to display a better or worse picture via HTMI
  My own HTMI does look better that component
  Denon DVD-5910 to a Sony 42XS955 Plasma TV.
  I can understand some folks bitterness about the HDMI failing to please when so much hype is put out about how much better it is.
  But, like I said, it all depends on the synergy between the components being connected via HDMI

  In my experience, depending upon your source and display, HDMI yields a 10 - 25% increased in overall picture quality over component video.

  My experiences using HDMI are with my HD cable box and Oppo DVD player. I notice a remarkable improvement each time.

  If you have a digital source and display, why muck things up with an analog connection between the two?

    I find that the Component presents a more neutral palette of color as opposed to HDMI/DVI of which it tends to saturate and brightened up everything. I supposed to each his own.

    • maybe you need to reverse the direction which you connect the hdmi cable - jeme 02:15:40 06/29/06 (0)

      directionality still matters on digital cables such as i.Link & HDMI
