And if so, what are the benefits?

Yes, they are. For one, they are pure digital which means no loss at all between products. Secondly, HDMI is totally compatible from one unit to the other. Thirdly, HDMI has both picture and audio on a single cable, plus a provision for products to "talk" to each other... sorta like plug n play on your computer. DVI digital is just as good, but lacks the audio. All the rest don't come close.

From composite cables, HDMI will be a significant improvement. From component cables, it will be a minor improvement. You will also have a nice improvement in your audio, plus have less of a mess behind your TV. HDMI gives both digital video and audio.

yea you can get 1080p out of HDMI,
but I dont have any thing that brocates 1080p
and RGB can brocast 1080i and look great doing it,
so unless you have a bluray or HDDVD I would not bother, also my cable will not even let that happen

compare HDMI to Component, my picture clarity actually DECREASEd when I switched to HDMI from component...don't know why...perhaps the weakest link analogy?
for example...if all the links in a chain are made of steel (HDMI) but one link is made of cloth (component cables) then there's really no point to the steel (digital HDMI)...I think because the receiver to Amplifier was HDMI...but Amplifieer to TV was component...regardless
try them both...you never know...although theoretically HDMIs are a lot better (all digital) then component
