Second thing, off topic, but a personal crusade of mine: buy HDMI
cables on-line. Having worked the past few years in the industry
(specifically I wrote the HDMI firmware for high end TV's), I can tell
you that in all normal cirucmstances (less than 20' cables, HDMI 1.3
certified cables for HDMI 1.3, etc), the picture/sound you get with
monster cables is EXACTLY the same as the picture/sound your recieve
for a $10 cable you buy on-line.

The same is true for RCA cable, toslink, subwoofer cable, speaker cable,
etc.

You can definately get cheaper stuff, but I've found that
http://www.bluejeanscable.com/ has pretty high grade stuff
(Belden/Canare cable, Canare/Neutrik connectors) at reasonable prices
for what you get.
