Bought Samsung DVD-R160 recorder dvd player and LN-T4661F TV

by |CBW|Dmega - 10/4/07 8:23 AM

I'm new to the HD thing and picked up the samsung LCD LN-T4661F TV and dvd recorder DVD-R160, but I don't know which HDMI cable to buy.
The specs on CNET say the TV has 1.3 input's, but I can't find anything about the dvd recorder. The samsung website does not fully explain either.

Should I get version 1.1,1.2 or 1.3? Monster cables seems expensive. Is there an alternative? Any suggestions appreciated as I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for a cable.
Thnx

DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME (OR MONEY) ON MONSTER CABLE......

CHECK OUT MONOPRICE.com cables, which are very good and reasonably priced. PHILIPS ELECTRONICS also makes very decent cables, well priced, available at many locations, including WAL*MART.

Good shopping,

v1.1-1.3

I believe that the version (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) is refering to the encoding/decoding at either end ,and not the cable itself. Basically, if it has the same connetor ,it's the same( except possibly bandwidth, but I think it's all about types of control sent back and forth thru cable; not a biggie.)
