There is absolutely no difference between HDMI cables. It is a digital cable (0's and 1's) so don't buy into the marketing of the more expensive cables. Monster Cable sells HDMI cables for $70+ and they are known for bad business practices. Here's one for less than $4: HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b All I know about surge protectors is the higher number of joules, the better.

Yes it is... We just built a brand new home and the electrician ran this wire from above our fireplace across the wall and down to our media shelves (all ran through the studs). Our electrician was asking how much I paid for each of these HDMI cables because of how long they are and the quality of the wires (he thought I paid over $80 each). I used these in all of the bedrooms and in the family room as well! I plan on using these again!!

any cheap HDMI cable offered from Amazon will do. I bought this TV in early October (from Amazon) and also purchased 2 - $5 dollar cables (also from Amazon). You do NOT need the fancy HDMI cables that cost $100+. For a little reference, advice, see this site, (CNET). http://reviews.cnet.com/hdmi-guide/?tag=pm (i don't work for Cnet or Amazon or any of the vendors, i was in the exact same position as you, and made the mistake once of buying expensive cables. never again, there is no difference in the picture, and my bluray is connected to this tv via a $5 HDMI cable thats 12 feet long. Monster cables that long would run near $200, and it just is not worth the money)

Firewire. Or a dv player. Cost about 20$ for the firewire cord or 100$+ for the dv player. I used windowa movie make and vegas pro and pinnacle studios if that help at all

There were three different cords that came with the monitor. I used the same cord that is used with all monitors. I couldn't get the HD cord to work however the monitor looks like it's in HD anyway. There's a video that comes with the monitor.

You are most welcome! It drives me nuts when they don't tell you exactly what you are getting. I ordered a TV last week, a couple of models included one HDMI cables as a bonus item, most did not. When I was able to confirm my TV did not come with an HDMI cable, I ordered the exact number needed for my various and sundry components. Everything came together--no extra trips needed, perfect!Glad to hear I'm not the only person who still uses the wrist strap... ;o) Again, good luck!

Thank you, Erika. I'll be getting some inexpensive HDMI cables, then, most likely the AmazonBasics. Happy New Year!L

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc...Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

I use an HDMI cord. You might want to look into a convertor box. It took me buying and sending back 7 different DVD player's before I went back to this one. Just a warning This is the 2nd time I bought this DVD player as all the other's didn't have what I wanted or needed.

Component and HDMI are supposed to handle the same quality of signal. There are those who would debate the quality of component over HDMI but I have not been able to tell with my eyes any visible difference in picture quality. Sometimes cable length is an issue though, so be aware that a 15' cable or longer *might* degrade the signal quality. Hope that is helpful to you.

John - I hope I am not bothersome in my quest for accurate and intelligent information, if so, please tell me you have had enough. Otherwise, I have read a lot of posts and reviews regaridng 1.3 and 1.3a HDMI cables. I also remember you advised not to go with cheap cables which I agree with despite many saying they cannot notice a difference. My receiver is hdmi 1.3 and I know the PS3 is as well. I read that you should make sure that the HDMI cable is certified as a 1.3 and have read that all HDMIs support 1.3 (which I am not sure I believe). What is the truth and what cable do you recommend that is certified as 1.3? Also, does it matter if the cable is 1.3 or 1.3a?

Amazon has a great variety of 50' hdmi cables and I would contact Orei to find out which to buy. Usually a more expensive cable is better.

You will want to buy an hdmi cable. You can get it for about $1.98 on Amazon if you search. Believe it or not, because HDMI is a standard, all HDMI cables whether they cost $100 or $2 perform equally well.

It takes a standard monitor cord (which I think is the 15 pin monitor cable) that can be purchased at any electronics store or on Amazon. As it is an older model I seriously doubt it will come with a monitor cord but depending on the seller it might. Generally the cord will run in cost between $4 - $10.

It appears to be an error. The corresponding monoprice product is indeed an ethernet cable, I'd assume the amazon pictures are wrong. Or the description is wrong. Or they copied and pasted the wrong product name.EDIT:The price suggests it's supposed to be the HDMI cable and they copied the wrong product name.

Mine came with 1 HDMI cable, however, I'm not sure that's standard. To be sure maybe pick up one extra. You can find a decent one for about $10.

One cord is $1.72 and if you purchase the "frequently bought together" item, you will have a total of 4 cords for $5.60. It is your choice.
