Blue Jeans Component Cables

[Team_Canada]

Hello all, I am looking at purchasing three sets of these cables. Can anyone provide a hands on opinion??

I also need a quallty optical link cable but don't want to break the bank.

Any help is appreciated!!

I honestly don't think you can find a better component cable than what Blue Jeans sells. They use very high quality Belden cable and Canare connectors on the ends. I have one and I am very impressed with the build quailty of it. For the price, they simply cannot be beat. As far as an optical cables goes, I would recommend finding one that is made of glass strands instead of plasic. You can find them on ebay a lot of times for cheap and I also know that Parts Express sells them as well.

Unless you're making a long run, glass won't make a difference. If it's just a couple meters, just go for an inexpensive plastic fiber cable.

I just bought a bunch of stuff from Parts Express. I have not hooked them up (doing that Sat.) but I have been impressed with the quality of the ICs.

Of all the component cables I've tried, Bluejeans were the least expensive and best quality so far. Value wise, I don't think you could do better.

Bluejeanscable are well made, great connectors with solid quality wiring. Can't go wrong.

component or s video

can someone help in answering my simple query?

Is component video better than S video for picture resolution, i am using a projector for display..thanks for your help !!

Yes component is better than s-video.
It goes in this manner from worst to best. (for the most part)
Composite, S-Video, Component (RGB), DVI, HDMI.
(DVI and HDMI offer about the same, but HDMI will also carry audio signals, and is a technology for future upgrades)

EDIT:: To answer your question. Yes some DVD players have DVI out, and or HDMI out. HDMI out can be used with a HDMI/DVI cable. Your projector has DVI in. So you could get a player that has HDMI or DVI out. The only players I know of that can do 1080i and even 1080p over component and HDMI is my player. The NeuNeo. I used to recommend the Oppo player, but stopped after one guy was not 100% thrilled with its performance. Also I read Clint's review of the Oppo, and I will say the NeuNeo does not suffer from the same problems. The one that really got me, was the power off test, and the dvd tray would not go back in???? Also the heat issue, the 2085 has absolutely no heat come from it at all. (to double check this, I watched 3 - 2 hour movies back to back (6 hours total) and the player was at the most 1 degree warmer than 77 ambient tempature). Also slow button response problems, etc..

Rambling....
Anyhow, back to the cable thing - Yes there are many players that have DVI and or HDMI out.
