In Reply to: HDMI vs. component video revisited posted by es347 on October 25, 2007 at 18:10:37:
With my Samsung HD receiver and JVC RS-1 projector, I first connected them with high-end component cables of 4' length. Then I inserted the HDMI cable that came with my Oppo 980 and noticed a small improvement. Then I switched to a 1.5m Harmonic Technology HDMI and again saw a small improvemet. This was all on a Fox or a CBS 720p signal.
With the Oppo itself, the same level of improvement was seen between the two cables. Not much, however, I must emphasize.
Difference is, only the HDMI cable allows the player to perform its upconversion-to-1080p stunt.
Hope that helps.
