I just got HDTV so I am rewiring my system. In the process I am looking at upgrading some of the cables. Any input would be appriciated.

The HD box has a DVI out and the TV has a HDMI in so I was thinking of this outlaw cable

I also need a longer optical cable so I was looking at this outlaw cable or this one by cobalt cable

Finally, I need a component video cable so I was looking at another cobalt cable

I have no experience with either of these brands so any comments, suggestions, or alternatives are welcome. I am looking for a good mix of price and performance.

Thanks

    Either of those cable companies would be good value for your money. You might also look at Blue Jeans Cable or Signal Cable for good value as well.

    BTW, what HDTV did you end up with?
    Tschüss

    I went with a Samsung DLP HL-R4667W . I was going to wait for the new 1080p Samsungs but I couldn't quite fit the 50" (smallest in the 1080p) in my cabinet.

    I am very happy with the Samsung though...great product...amazing picture!
