GAMEware Playstation 3 HDMI cable

Advantages: Cheap - does a great job
Disadvantages: None

...This is a must have accessory for any Playstation 3 owner. The best way to send sound and video to your TV to play in high definition is through a HDMI cable. It is the most reliable and easiest way of doing it. A test recently done on the gadget show proved that a cheap HDMI cable will work just as well as an extremely expensive one. They both do the same job and one isn't better than the other. This cable from GAME is one of the cheapest HDMI cables I have seen in the shops and so if a definate buy if you are thinking of getting one. As the Playstation 3 system does not come with a HDMI cable in the box you will probably want to buy one when you pruchase your PS3 and if you are buying it in GAME then you should definitely go for their make of the HDMI cable. Don't bother spending more for the official sony one. They will both look...

Review of GAME GAMEware PlayStation 3 HDMI Cable

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Sony VMC IL4615 data cable

Advantages: Allows you to upload from Sony camcorder to your PC
Disadvantages: None, it is functional if needed. Shop around for the best price.

...I am definately not a techno type of person but can certainly recommend this data cable. It is a useful, functional piece of equipment which allows you to link your Sony camcorder to any kind of PC. The main thing I would say is, that if you find yourself in need of this cable then the best thing to do is to shop around. There are bargains to be had and quite big differences in the prices charged for it. Amazon is quite a good place to look, as not only do you get an Amazon price but there are other offers to be found there for new cables too. When I was looking the best deal available was £7.99 (plus shipping). Or of course you could order from Amazon when you are buying other items and then be eligible for free shipping if you spend £15. For even more savings register with Greasy Palm and log onto Amazon from there to get a 10...

Review of Sony VMC IL4615 - data cable - Firewire IEEE1394 (i.LINK) - 1.5 m

Why am I paying for this? Never mind, it's good...

Advantages: Great picture and audio, incredibly reliable, decent value for money
Disadvantages: Should really be bundled with the PS3 console

...Let's not beat around the bush; cables are not exciting. No matter how brilliant the Playstation 3 is, no matter how much fun you have with it, the cables are going to be the dullest, most boring bit. So when you buy them, you want them to last, if only so you never have to experience the tedium that is shopping for wires ever again. I'm pleased to report that Sony's official HDMI cable is as good as I've seen so far. Performance is going to be the main factor in choosing your cable, and while I have little to compare it to, Sony's HDMI cable is the Ferrari in performance terms. A beautifully crisp, clear picture, with no fuzziness, no messy little patches on screen - the visual quality is outstanding. The picture never suffers from slow down, or any issues whatsoever as far as I can see, and the audio is similarly excellent. You will...

Review of Sony Official HDMI Cable

Put computer on the big screen watch movies.

Advantages: Quite cheap good pictures for movies.
Disadvantages: Not the best quality picture no gold plating no audio

...I have written a review on a similar product, it was hdmi connectors to hdmi connector so I could only connect my laptop up to the TV. The five meter long Hama cable has hdmi connectors and DVI connectors. I bought this handy cable off 7 day shop for £20.00 i think they don't sell it anymore but they do sell other ones with gold plating so they have more detail. I'm sure they sell the on amazon and eBay as well at a much lower price than i first got mine. For those people who don't know look at the products picture in the top left hand corner of this page. Hdmi cable (High Definition Multimedia Interface) IS the smaller one pictured on the left while the DVI cable (Digital Visual Interface)is the bigger one on the right hand side. this cable unlike other cables this one does not transmit audio signal so you need another...

PC on a HD TV

Advantages: Cheap and really useful
Disadvantages: non that I can think of

...Since I'm still a poor penniless student i was over the moon when my mam got me a 42" HD TV for an early birthday present. When it finally got delivered I was going crazy thinking about all the possibilities of things I could do with it, when I turned it around i saw a familiar little port. It was a VGA port, the port that is on the back of my computer that connects it to my monitor. So I decided that I would be daring and have a 42" monitor for my computer monitor. I needed to go away and get a VGA cable to hook it up and that's what I did. Since I have alot of things around my TV (lots of computers things and electricity) I didnt want any sort of crosstalk (disturbance on the cable from other electrical devices- its quite rare now but not unheard of) I made sure that i got a double shielded wire, the best one of these that i could...

THE LAZY MAN'S GUIDE TO CABLE SWAPPING

Advantages: Intuitive, unobtrusive
Disadvantages: None of note

...rushed to order the practicalities of the situation sunk in ? these new boxes are only connectable to a TV via an HDMI cable, which had me rueing the purchase of a TV with only one of the sought after sockets. Of course the simple solution would be to swap cables between the Xbox and Sky as and when required; but I use the gaming device to watch DVD?s which would mean swapping the cables several times a week. To me this just wasn?t acceptable ? It?s no good showing off your high def picture and glorious looking console games if you have to fumble behind the TV for ten minutes, swearing and muttering as you try to find the end of the requisite cable while waggling your bum in the faces of the assembled throng. Something permanent and less troublesome was called for. I?d heard of gizmos called HDMI switchers ? handy little devices that sit...

Review of Joytech HDMI Tri Link Switcher

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...
