HDMI is ideal--it's all digital and incorporates audio, and is becoming the de facto standard with high-def equipment (partly because the media companies are going to be able to implement copy protection over HDMI). DVI is acceptable, too, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a lot of AV equipment that has DVI outputs; it's really more of a computer thing. As for component--the previous poster was wrong; component can carry 480p all the way up to 1080p...*provided* that the equipment is capable of outputting and your TV is capable of taking in those signals over component--not all of them do.

1080p? HDMI by a long shot. Not sure most component cables will support 1080p. HDMI is the absolute highest quality that you will get, providing both digital video and audio.

Component is analog, so not the best quality.
Dual-link DVI can support 1080p and is digital, but you are maxing out the bandwidth, which means you can see some artifacts or other anomalies.
I recommend HDMI, which is digital. Largest bandwidth, common connector and less bulky cable.

hdmi and dvi have identical video quality... exept hdmi has digital audio in the same cable... component is analog so it only has a 480i pictiure... and it probably isnt as good as a digital cable... such as dvi or htmi... i would go with hdmi if you use the speakers on your tv... or i would use dvi or htmi if you use a seperate reciver for you speakers....

HDMI is going to give you the best hook up with the best data transfer.
