| I know alot of people are personally confused with this. So I thought I could make this thread to help out.
-Basically, HDMI and Component cables are the mediums that you use to get HD signals from your Xbox 360. The difference is that HDMI has a digital signal, while component has an analog signal. Both Component and HDMI can get you 1080p signals.
-Although some older 1080p TV's only accept 1080p through HDMI.
-Some TV's handle digital signals better, while some TV's handle analog signals better.
-HDMI is capable of higher resolutions overtime. But considering that the Xbox 360's max resolution is 1920 X 1080, I doubt this will really matter.
-HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals all through one cable. Although Component requires the white and red cables for audio.
-With HDMI you can upscale DVDs. And watch Zune HD movies in 1080p. With component you can only watch DVDs in 480p and Zune HD movies up to 1080i.
I hope I helped. If you guys think I'm missing anything please let me know.

| HDMI is just better because its just one cable and just from a ease standpoint, its better. _________________ Live by the Creed |

| My Samsung B750 prefers the 360 via HDMI.
When using component the edges look softer than when compared to HDMI.
HDMI is crisp and I get better blacks because the set enables HDMI black level settings.
Though I prefer component over VGA (VGA on 360 looks washed out). |

My thoughts exactly. HDMI provides a more honest representation of an HD picture since it's digital. Component and VGA aren't bad, but I'd always avoid them if I had the option to go with HDMI. |

| I use HDMI on my 360 and PS3. My friend has a 1st gen 360 and has to use component cables, but you really cant tell a difference. HDMI is just easier. |

| Yeah I use HDMI. Pain in the ass because my TV only has one HDMI input so I'm continuously switching between 360/PS3. |
