blu ray player quality difference image

Hot Chocol

I recently got a new HD TV and I already had a blu-ray DVD player, the installer told me to get an even better picture on my TV I should buy a "HD cable" to connect from my blu-ray player to my tv. What type of cable was he talking about and does it really make a lot of difference in picture quality?
Thanks!

Answer
HDMI cable which is used for High Definition. There are a couple of different HDMI cables, but the most important to remember is that a $100 cable and $30 one will show absolutely no difference, so don't get caught by those sellers trying to make you buy an HDMI cable for $100.

You can check here for more information on HDMI cables (there's versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_1.0_to_1.2

Generally, you'll want an HDMI 1.3, or if it's for 3D, you'll want 1.4. It usually is written on the box/bag which version it is.

What is the difference between streaming players, and a blu ray player?

I'm new to all of this. We recently bought an LCD tv, and have a netflix account and would like to stream movies from our computer onto our TV. Can a blu ray player also do this? I'm not sure which one we should buy: any of the streaming players, or just a blu ray player. What is the difference? Also, our LCD TV is HD, so will we need a blu ray player to get that HD effect? Thanks!

Answer
Buy a simple Blu-Ray with 1080p upconvert facility. So that u can see ur old DVDs also to near HD quality. It will cost u under $99. And get a 15feet HDMI cable from Dollar Store for around $10. See ur netflix movies or anything on net on TV via HDMI cable connection (Computer to TV)
