    My new hdtv (and a few questions)

    I bought a lightly used Samsung 23 inch LCD HDTV (480i/p, 720p, 1080i) off of ebay for $340 (it sells at best buy for $699)

    I have a Ps3 and was wondering how I would be able to get HD picture for games. Should I get the HDMI cable or the component cable? What's the difference, and which has the better picture?

    Also I'm kind of nervous after hearing about the "downscaling" problem with the Ps3, where all your games are playes in standard def. Would this be a problem with my tv, or is it only on EDTV's (semi-HDTV's without 720p)?

    No, I don't have anything better to do. Now, I answered your question... is it possible for you to answer mine, or am I really just wasting my time here?

    The PS3 issue is only a problem for the 480i/p/1080i TVs.

    I would go with HDMI. You can get some cheap HDMI cables here. http://ehdmi.com/
