Video Cable Help?

Wasn't sure if it fit anywhere else, so here goes...

What kind of cables do I want?

I'm shopping for a HDTV...I have a nice 27" Zenith with Component and S-Video....

To complete my system, I have an XBox, VCR, Zenith 5 DVD Carousel, Pioneer 850 Dolby Digital/DTS (with expanded surround) Receiver, and a Sony 300 Disk changer.

The XBox is running on S-Video, as is the DVD player.

I'm thinking of upgrading to Component Video cables but its so confusing/expensive. I'd prefer not to spend $90 a cable on Monster's 3 series or their new ones that are $100+. I saw some THX Monster Cables that were about $30 each I believe for Component video...are they just as good? The DVD player is using a generic S-Video cable as is. I'm moving in 3 weeks and should have a new digital TV to set this up to, so I wanna get it done right, but not too pricey, if not really necessary.

Thanks!

Get component when you can.


Don't worry too much about the higher priced ones.

Cheap component is better than any S-Video if you're running a progressive feed into your TV (DVD, X-Box and PS2 ..only some games)


I've seen Acoulstic Research component cables at Best Buy for $25

Radio Shack might have some cheaper ones..
