I can't even begin to explain the difference between a HDMI connection and the usual 3 prong RCA jack connections that most people are using to view their media and favorite television shows on their high definition flat screen television sets and monitors. To say the difference is huge would be an understatement. Not to mention the fact that most consumers don't feel the neccesity to shell out what seems like big money to connect a television, game system or whatever, using HDMI cable technology when they have x number of RCA jacks lying around free and just as good, a hookup is a hookup right? Wrong. Very wrong.
You can't argue with the difference in video or sound once you finally hook up your system using HDMI cables instead of the RCA jacks. I use to be just like most high definition television owners in the country, I opened the box, plugged in the set, connected the antennae, I actually used a paper clip as my antennae for a while, and sit back and enjoy the show. The show comes on, the video plays, all is right with the world. I truly thought so, I guess you can't miss what you never had is true.
Once I finally got an HDMI cable and plugged it into my television and source (DVD, Game system) and watched the video picture... It almost made me cry. I am serious,it the picture is so fluid and clear that it truly is like looking out of a clean picture window, true life colors. And the sound, OMG the sound is crystal clear without the least hint of static.
Do yourself a favor and purchase the lowest quality brand of HDMI cable on the market, should set you back less than $20 and give it a try. The difference is about the same as the difference was when you went from regular television (analog) to HDTV. I kid you not, the regular rca jack connection on a high definition television compared to an HDMI connection on the same television watching a DVD (not to mention a Blue-ray) is about as dramatic as regular tv versus 1080i - no fooling. I made this blog just to say this. I can't even watch regularly hooked up media, it seems like bootleg video to me now.
Anyway, take a look at the HDMI cables I offer on the blog because I took a long time selecting the best and most affordable HDMI cables for readers, i ALSO ADDED A FEW wish lish brands for you rich bastidz and enthusiasts. Thank you.
