Christopher, there's really not that many cables.

You'll have composite, which is an analog signal that's the typical red/white/yellow connectors you've been using forever.

There's component, which is still analog, but you can get a HD signal from (it's what the Xbox 360 uses).

Then there's HDMI, which is completely digital for the best picture.

That's damn nice TV Chris. Buying this with your new job money or something? Is it for your frat house?

And this pagangus shit is from OA right? I really can't take it anymore.

You need HDMI cables for watching TV and a PS3 if you get one.  You can hook your computer up to it.  It doesn't say it has composite or component connections.

heh not for the house, just sorta a splurge to put in my room at home to show my dad that I can get nice stuff without his help.
(ofcourse when I finally move out I'll be taking this with me, I see it as a great investment).

yeah papangus is something reirom says in every title, it's sorta his catchphrase.

Actually, you don't need HDMI for watching TV.

The likelihood is that TV has a built-in tuner, meaning with a decent antenna, you can pick up all the local networks in HD over-the-air for free.  Even if you get cable or sattelite with HD programming, the likelihood is that you'll be using component for watching TV.

Now, if you're going to get a PS3 or an upconvering DVD player (this plays DVDs and upconverts them to a HD resolution using magick and sorcery) - you'll need a HDMI cable.

Also, what's kind of cool (and I do it), is using your video card's dual display to hook up your PC to your TV and your monitor.  I can watch full screen episodes of Battlestar Galactica on the TV while chatting on the PC.

It's neat.
