The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray player of choice is the PS3 |
Ó
These days, the recommendations of important companies and groups can carry a lot of weight in the technology industry. It should stand as good news, then, that the reference Blu-ray player of the Criterion Collection happens to be the PS3.For those who haven't heard of it, the Criterion Collection is a company that releases what can be called "authoritative" versions of important classic and contemporary movies.
The Criterion Collection is also responsible for introducing certain aspects of contemporary DVD viewing that we now take for granted (such as developer commentary, letterboxing, and restorations of old or hard-to-find films). That said, expect the folks at the Criterion Collection to know their stuff when it comes to quality viewing.
Joe Kane, the AV expert who designed the theater of Criterion Collection, also told CNET that Sony's console offers the best image quality among Blu-ray players out in the market.
Furthermore, the PS3 delivers its quality images using a cheaper cable. Instead of using a Monster-brand HDMI cable which costs US$ 275, the PS3 can use a much cheaper (at US$ 2) DVI Gear version to come out with the same quality visuals.
All in all, it's a shining recommendation for the console as a home entertainment system that goes far beyond the confines of plain old videogaming.

hdmi cables have no "quality." an $8 hdmi cable is exactly the same image quality as a $200 cable. the data is sent digitally. because of this, you basically either have a cable that works or doesnt work. the only difference between the cheap and expensive cables, would be the effectiveness of transmitting that data over excessively long distances like 50ft. i dont know why you would need a 50ft hdmi cable, but if you do: get the expensive cable. otherwise an $8 cable will do.
i got my $8 10ft hdmi cable from here

and it works magnificently.

i have tested 23 different hdmi mostly monster and they do effect imagine quielty on high end tv's and even computer monitors improved in contrast ratio and sharpness than off brand *****, but i did notice that most people have *****tttty HD tv's hahha, tested 11 medium ends tv including sony, samsung and i didn't notice almost no different because its the tv that cant handle the power of true graphics. im not trying to promote monster and I do work at best buy but it just depends what tv u have, that's it.
Sorry friend but you are wrong. Digital is digital and thats that. Hdmi cables give the same information transmitted ( it's all 1s and 0s ) and Dremth is right. If you have a different size or type of conductor, resistance will be different affecting the signal.akmalisthepimp is right that an expensive hdmi cable will not make a crappy tv less crappy, unless you have something other than hdmi hooked up.
I payed around $7 at newegg.com for some of my hdmi cables. Be careful which ones you get though as they have a large selection. Just check the ratings for them when visiting.
Internet capabilities and a hdd. This allows it to be updated very easily, like Sony did when they gave us the new internet on Blu-ray update. Did I mention it plays DIVX movies. If only it were region free for dvds...
I got this HDMI cable, really cheap but works great.

The longer the cable the better insulation needed as well as type of equipment. Doesnt matter what cable you buy what matter is the distance. As for the TVs, if you have a high end one then you are good to go.
On another note - Thats' why I never go to BestBuy, besides the most expensive store, guys there dont actually know their stuff when it comes to electronics - 98% of them are like that! - Being an Network Engineer I asked them about routers to see their responses and MAAN I just walked away to another isle to laugh -
Going back to cable - Make sure you get the distance in you sight when buying one - just like Ethernet.
Your TV is still the most important. commonsense should tell you that if you are using a Sony PS3 then use a Sony TV(one of the high end modles), they should work the best together.
You can change the region, its either under [Security Settings] or [BD/DVD settings].
Unless this is for BD only.
So PS3 has powerful HDMI output.
