i have a 57 in toshiba which has dvi. I have heard there is very little difference in the
picture. Im very happy with my picture using component cables and not about to buy a DVI
cable for $99-$110, its just not worth it for a change only some can see. Only way i will
use a DVI cable is when the cable price is cheaper. Their asking way to much for a cable that just transfers a signal from a device to the tv. They Smack you for money for TVs and
Resevers with DVI inputs and outputs and never mention you have to pay out of your ass for a cable that in no way costs that much. Its a huge rip off!! Just Another way they can make money off of the people who need new things first.

 DVI cables can be cheap if you look in the right places! There are 15 feet cables for around $24.00 each + shipping on ebay!     Cheers!  

LOOK AT EBAY AUCTION HERE!

Dude I have more DVI components in my computer room that I have VGA components and I can tell you the cables are not very expensive.

Also, I hate to repeat things when I haven't seen them for myself, but I've been told the DVI makes a huge difference.  I did see one DVD player that used DVI (it unconverted to 1080i) and the difference between component and DVI was huge, but that still could've just been that the DVD player had better handling for DVI than component and that's the only test I've seen so I can't trust that the difference will always be that great for all components.  Still, I hate the signal loss I get from a VGA cable so I always go DVI whenever possible with my computers, and I will do the same whenever I buy that HDTV.

My DVI cable cost me $15 at a PC Show in white plains NY, it was a pretty good deal. Now we do not have Comcast Digital Cable but I am looking into it...seeing if its worth the extra money. Comcast already kills us with the internet and basic cable prices. I wish we had Optimum Online speeds for the price we pay but there is nothing we can do
