That is standard connection. Just go to brandsmart and buy a 20 dollar HDMI cable. Also, Green-Red-Blue connection is HD.

uhhh when I tried playing my Wii with yellow white red etc on an HD it looked like shit. With the HD cables it still looks like shit, but at least a little less.

HDMI cable is better. You lazy git.

You can get an HDMI cable for under $5 probably. Also, no, that will suck. You need either component or HDMI.

>>26252035
Sure, but out of curiosity:

Two televisions. Same size and everything. Only difference is that one is HD and one is not.

Both have PS3s attached to them. Both have the standard Yellow-Red-White cables.

Which will have a better image?

>>26252073
>wii ... looked like shit
>still looks like shit
>wii
theres your problem

>>26252073
>>26251934
Yellow is the video connection. Red and white are just left and right audio. Green Red and Blue, also know as Component, are HD. HDMI or DVI are the highest HD out now.

>>26252133
probably the SDTV. Standard Def signals look awful on HDTV colors are dull, image distorted.

>>26252073

I'd look like shit too if I was still struggling with 480p

>>26252133
Both will be SD, so they will be equal. Same TV, same resolution. HD is a higher resolution so it has more detail.

Just get an HDMI cable from monoprice or any site similar to that, you're getting ripped off if you buy it from best buy or something.

You see that 24k gold contact? Yeah, you pretty much need that. A $5 cable just isn't going to cut it when it comes to playing your PS3 on an HDTV. You'll get repeated signal interruption and far inferior color saturation by using a cheap cable. Monster brand cable is also the only cables out there to feature the Nitrogen Gas-Injected Dielectric insulator. I dare you, compare your PS3 on an HDTV with two cables side by side. If you can't see the difference you're pretty much blind.

So it's up to you. A $5 cable and a fucking horrible picture, or a Monster Cable.

>>26252133

look bitch, just get either component cables, or HDMI.
You will jizz in you pants at the picture difference.
You will never go back to composite.

>>26252296
I lol'd

>>26252133
they will look the same, the HD one won't be utilizing HD unless you, you know, utilize HD

Everyone in this thread is a fucking moron

I stole mine. Take that, The Man.

>>26252739

This thread makes me angry.

No, your composite cables (Yellow-red-white) will look awful on a HD TV. Worse than a standard TV.
If you have anything plugged into a HDTV that isn't component (red green blue) or better, you do not deserve that TV.

>>26252388
That tinyurl is not working.
I am interested. Fix this please.

>>26252814
just go to monoprice and look it up

>>26252809

>>26252873
That's the problem. Look WHAT up? "6 Foot Cable"?

I am going to openly admit I am a quality freak and things bother me that really shouldn't.

It's like when I see people running LCD monitors at anything lower than their native resolution. FFFFFFF can't they see that it looks like shit?

Look up HDMI cable and look for what ever size you want.

I was able to get a HDMI cable for $4 bucks on ebay. Exactly the same as the other cable I spent 30 bucks on.

I put my Wii on my 1080i TV with the red/yellow/white scart cables.

The picture wasn't that bad when compared to setting it up on a SDTV. But the sound was much different, can't remember what it was like but it was just bad.

Oh and HDMI cables are dirt cheap. Getting the bargain bin ones compared to GOLD PLATED THICK AS YOUR DICK HDMI CABLES THAT COST 10 TIMES MORE makes no difference. It's a scam basically the way electronic stores sell these HDMI cables.

>>26253068
Waaaaaaaaait.
Are you telling me ANY HDMI cable works on a PS3?
Sorry for being all..stupid. I'm new to this stuff.

There you go, you lazy dumb fuck.

>>26253247
Yes ANY cable will work.

It's non proprietary like the power cord.

Since we're on the subject of PS3, can I use any USB A to mini-B 5 pin or does Sony have some kind of fag-brand lockout in effect?

>>26253238
im sure that isnt suppose to happen. mine is hooked up with composite cables and just the picture is off`

>>26253326

Calm down, tripfag. Not everyone is a tech-nut.

>>26253371
Sony, unlike Microsoft, wants to make their users happy. Anything will work. If you question it, it will work.

>>26253450
Will my SNES Power Cord work on my PS3? It's all I have.

>>26253506
Let me put it this way. If it fits, it works.

>>26253450

Thanks, now I can buy a fifteen foot controller cord worry free.

>>26252388
is this site real? these cables are cheap

>>26253021

I am going to openly admit that faggots like you piss me off.

Want to hear a great story? I have a friend like you who constantly bitches about the picture quality of my tv and the sound quality of my stereo. He bought these fucking $600 Styrofoam cylinders to put in the corner of his livingroom because it reduced "bass cancellation" I don't even know what the fuck bass cancellation is and I dont give a fuck.

Guess what you fucking faggot? I invited him over to watch Rich Franklin get ruined by Anderson Silva a few UFC's back (it was the rematch) needless to say he started bitching about the quality of the tv.

So about 3 minutes into his rant I told him to shut the fuck up or get out since I was paying the $39 and I was nice enough to invite his nigger ass over (yeah, he is half black) so he gets pissed off and tries to grab his brews he bought and I stopped him and told him
"No, I said get the fuck out. All you do is bitch and complain about my tv when in fact I am the one that invited your cheap ass over so you could watch this fight. Now leave the brews and gtfo."

He left. I have not talked to him since. Funny thing is I have been banging his sister the last couple of weeks.

Moral of the story:

You are a fucking faggot. Fuck you.

Ok, so help me out here.

The only difference between 2 and 3 is length, so I'm just gonna get 2.

But! This is where 1 comes in play. It costs TWICE as much as 2, but it has some crazy-ass features. In-Wall installation (which sounds useless, like fuck if I'm putting shit in my walls) and a NET JACKET which sounds bad ass but I have no clue what it is. It lacks a Ferrite Cores, which again I have no clue as to what this is. And the final thing is that there's a limit to 5 of them per customer, as opposed to 2's limit of 120 per customer. I'm only buying one of them, but why would there be a limit of 5 if it isn't bad-ass? Also, 1 has 4 less AWG points, whatever that is.

I'm leaning towards 2, but should I get 1?

$5 HDMI cable is as good as $20 or $100. Its a fucking digital signal. As long as the connection is made it will work at the same quality.

>>26253817

YOU DA BESS MAYNE

YOU DEED IT

>>26253840
Just get 2. HDMI is HDMI. Be frugal if you have the money and a SUPA TV, but if not, get what you can afford.

>>26253817
>Moral of the story:

>Comment too long.

Hey, 4chan actually knows better than you.

op go to:

www.monoprice.com

cheap ass good quality cable and they deliver there you go

>>26253817
Oh man I hate it when people buy overpriced stuff for the bare difference it makes to the quality of sound or picture. Seriously that much for foam that cancels bass?

Though I admit I buy overpriced stuff when I could get something that is a fraction of the price and still does the same job. The other day I bought this steering wheel to play racing games on PC and PS3. Cost me nearly £200 when I could of got a £30 one. Though it is pretty nice and much better than this Xbox 360 one I got free once.

>>26254100
Too late, I already posted >>26253840.

Also, thanks >>26253970. I'll get 2.

fuck yes monoprice rules. I live like 15 minutes from they're main warehouse can pick up anythign I need in less then an hour from online order to pick up and back home for use. feels good man

>>26253817
let us outline your post

your argument:
- to be a "quality freak" is undesirable

your points:
- your friend bitched about your setup
- he is cheap
- you took his beer
- he has paid 600 dollars for one unit of his whole system
- he is a nigger
- you're fucking his sister

Your grade: 1/9. Does not address the topic and/or goes off on a tangent.

>>26253840
>a NET JACKET which sounds bad ass but I have no clue what it is

I laughed way more at this than I should have.

>>26252296

Totally agree with ya brah. OP needs a $60 Monster HDMI cable. The picture quality will look like shit if he doesn't. Interference will lead to artifacts and color depth will look worse the SD.

>>26255392

Until no-name cables start incorporating nitrogen-injected dieletric insulators, at least. But I'm not holding my breath on that one.

>>26253840
a net jacket is like a condom for your HDMI cable. it's literally a jacket made of netting.

a ferrite core is one of those barrel looking things you sometimes see on like USB cables. it reduces high frequencies, which could FUCK WITH YOUR SIGNAL.
