I got on optoma hd70 projector and i need to get a 50 foot component cable. I have looked online(google) and i am unsure what cable to get. The projector is only 720p so i do not need an HDMI(also i only have an component ouput on my onkyo 805) If anyone can point me to the right web site. I am looking to spend no more than 70.00 dollars but if there is a cable for a little more i am interested, or if someone has a 50 foot for sale i will be interested. thanx in advance. will this work http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V1WUEM?smid=ALR1KZGDJ6168&tag=nextag-ce-tier4-delta-20&linkCode=asn

Since it is a fairly long run for componet I would get a good cable from Bluejeanscable.com. It will cost you but if it runs anywhere near electricial outlets you do not want it picking up video noise.
You could try a cheap cable and see how it looks.Speakers: SDA-1C (most all the goodies)

Jayson, you may be lucky with the monoprice cable, I agree buying cheap for digital cables but analog will pick up noise.
I had a 16' run and tried several different cables, even monprice but could not get rid of video noise and after going to the Belden cable I has no issues with video noise.

Just make sure Monoprice will take it back if you have noise.Speakers: SDA-1C (most all the goodies)

I set up my Boss' system with a 50' component cable from Monoprice, no trouble at all. I'm currently using their 25' and 15' HDMI cables, and no issue's there either.

No I do not use "that" cable, but I do use HDMI cables from Monoprice and they are great, a little stiff, but nothing that was a problem. -
You can also use 3 RG6 coax cables and out F to Rca adapters on if you are looking for something cheap.

I have coax for my projector. Best bang for the buck.

The 805 does have more than just component out. It has HDMI out too.

yes the 805 has component and HDMI but the hdmi is being used for my plasma. So since i have everything hooked up to the 805 i have the hdmi going to the tv and the component cable going to the projector. I just hope the 805 can send two signals at the same time(hdmi and component). i am mounting the screen above my tv so if i can switch between video sources. And yes the projector has an hdmi but the 805 only has one hdmi output leaving me with the component.Audio:
