What brand of cables and how long? Really cheap cables can be a problem.
How does the picture look?

Congratulations on your new TV! Color me jealous.

Just curious - what brand of cables did you buy? $10 means different things at different stores.

they are 6' RCA component cables bought them from meijer but the picute looks better than the s-cable wich is monster brand that was hooked up before im thinking because it is progressive now vs interlaced

well i got my blue jeans hdmi cable on wensday and i cant see a difference between that and the rca brand component cables so i guess the fact that they were only 10$ didnt make a difference i use the hdmi for my lg upconverting dvd player and the component cables for my toshibia dvd recorder/hdd player in which the dvd player freezes up that is why ihave a seperate dvd player...

Yes, the largest video improvement comes when you go to the 3 color signals, component or HDMI. But, between these two, usually not a great deal of differences although it would make sense to see a bit of difference when you don't have to digitize a signal and stays in the digital domain.
