Hdmi Cable Vs Component Video Cables
Aug/100
HD Home theater question.?
Recent purchase of a Samsung HL-t6176s DLP television. And love it so far… 2 questions.
1. Component video vs. HDMI. I just got the HD digital cable receiver, and it came with component video and audio cables standard. My HDMI cables are in the mail so I hooked up the component video. Looks great. So now?? What is the advantage of HDMI? Other than cleaning up the number of cables behind your set. Is there an APPRECIABLE difference in video and audio between the 2. I am looking at a 1080i signal right now.
2. I see a spot on the screen. I have used the cleaning rag and it will not come off. I know it is not a black or white spot in the screen from a stuck mirror on the processor. It looks more like smudge. Anyone else have this? It appears to be inside.
1. Component is analog and HDMI is digital. HDMI will deliver slightly better quality video than component. Unless you have a surround sound receiver that supports HDMI audio and video, it is not going to clean up your cable situation. You would only be able to use HDMI for video only.
2. If you see an undefined spot, then this means there is dust or a fingerprint on a mirror, lens or DLP chip. There is nothing you can do to resolve this yourself. If it was a definitive spot like a square or rectangle, then this would be stuck mirrors. Either way, it seems like you need to get your TV serviced or exchanged.
