said by joako:said by tc1uscg:So, which is better, DVI or component? HDMI or component? DVI vs HDMI vs Component.
First lets remove DVI, because HDMI is exactly the same signal specification as DVI + SPDIF Audio in one nice fancy cable.
Now we have HDMI vs Component. Let's see.
Component is analog
Component cant transmit 5.1 Audio
Component cant do 1080i
Just because your Verizon FIOS is slow doesnt mean that fiber optics aren't better than analog DSL lines. Just because you have a device with bad A-D circuit doesnt mean the entire DVI specification is crap.
nor does it make it any better. That's the point. Too many ands, if's or but's to run out and scrap all that hardware purchased over the past 2 years just because some POS gaming system is going to include it. The 360 w/Component provides just a good picture at 720P, 1080i/p as it would if it was pumping the sig over a hdmi cable. Sound? That's what the fiber cable hook up is on the back of the component cable is for. I don't any issue blasting the family room with surround sound while playing games.
