Why didn't my Blu-Ray Player come with an HDMI cable?

Marine Lcp

Included with my brand new Sony blu-ray player was only a set of A/V cables. How do they expect me to view my blu-ray discs in 1080 if they don't even include the hdmi or HD component cables? Am I missing something here? Does the blu ray project 1080 with only the red, white, and yellow cables?

Answer
If they didn't even give you component cables or a 3 foot hdmi shame on sony wtf are you gonna do play your blu-ray in 480p lol might as well buy a dvd. But it probably has something to do with hdmi cables being like 20 bucks either way u should get an hdmi component is still lower quality.

Should I buy an HDMI cable for my Blu-ray player? But I only have a 720p.?

So the situation is that the Blu-ray player only came with the standard component cables. Will there be a significant difference if I bought an HDMI cable for a 720p television?

Answer
It will be determined by which has a better video processor. Stick to component for the source player and HDMI if you think the TV has a better one. I have found that component is superior to HDMI for most applications. Problem is that nothing over 1080i is supported by the manufactures. My Set up includes several HDMI inputs going to a processor however the final link is three sets of component cables to three projectors (I need the brightness).

I have Cable. How can I connect my TV to a Blu Ray player that can play movies? Do I just connect HDMI cables from the TV Cable box to the Blu Ray Player??

Answer
I'm not sure what you're asking in your last question:
"Do I just connect HDMI cables from the TV Cable box to the Blu Ray Player?"
The Blu-ray player is connected directly to the tv with its own hdmi cable. The cable box is also connected to the tv with its own cable (as I'm sure you already have it). The box and player are not connected to each other. Thought I should clarify that just in case :)

Remember hdmi cables don't need to be expensive. You can also get them online at monoprice.com, amazon, ebay, etc.

does anyone know the difference between a blu ray player and and an up converter dvd player with a hdmi cable?

Yeah you see. Whats the difference in the picture quality between a blu ray player with an hdtv and an up converter dvd player with an hdmi cable connected to a hdtv? i know sorry long question but can someone please answer me Thank you.

Answer
Yeah the quality of your video is determined by how much information is displayed. Regular DVD might have 480 lines making up the picture. A BlueRay DVD has 1080 lines making up the picture. When you upconvert a regular DVD, you are basically "stretching" the picture out, but you are not getting any more quality out of it. The cable you are using is not going to matter, it is the quality of the source that counts.

For instance, if you have two of the same photo on your computer, one is 320*240 and the other is 1024.768, and you take the smaller photo and increase its size with some editing software to make it 1024.768, you know its not going to look as good as the one that was 1024.768 already. Same idea.
