New guy- HDMI for 722 question

[Coz_45]

I just had my 722 installed and all is well.

Dish supplies a large video cable for connecting to my 1080p Samsung, but not an HDMI cable.

Picture is awesome, sound is good....do I need to utilize an HDMI cable between 722 and TV? Will I see or hear a difference?

Thanks

Unless your TV has a remarkable sound system built into it, no.

If you do manage to formulate a compelling argument for HDMI, don't pay more than $15 for a cable.

Thanks. I priced a 3 footer at Wal mart for $26!!

I decided the picture and sound were just fine.

I'll save an HDMI connection for the BluRay DVD player once it's "viable"

Thanks for confirming my suspicions

Monoprice.com is having a sale today for a light gauge 6' cable for $3.92.

And that monoprice.com cable will work just as well as a big $$$ one. Fast shipping as well. I've used them several times.

I also have a Samsung and Dish Network and I think the picture has more pop with the HDMI cable vs. the component. I also used monoprice.com - just make sure you get one with ferrite cores on it (audio could have 1-2 second drop outs if you don't) - I had to return mine because I got the wrong one to begin with.
