Default Re: Need help with what cables to buy for my TV

Most TV resolutions are pretty low and aren't going to work very well for poker stuff. Maybe if it's good it'll be like 1920x1080, but as you can see this is not a great resolution compared to some 24" monitors that do 1920x1200.

Check the outputs. The best site for cables is monoprice.com. They are almost always the cheapest.

If you have a DVR that has HDMI output, you'll need a HDMI cable. Your DVD isn't HD, and probably doesn't upconvert, so you'll want some component (not RCA, unless your DVD player is REALLY old). If your computer has DVI out, get a DVI to HDMI cable (unless you only have one HDMI input) or a DE-15 cable.

As far as cable quality for more expensive stuff goes... that's not really true. The Monster company makes bank off people paying for overpriced cables and such. For HDMI cables though, get the shortest one that will work, as the longer the cable the poorer the quality, but you're not gonna notice any difference between like 3 and 6 feet or something that small.
