is this HDMI cable standart? Because i want to order this great HDTV from amazon and other guys they odered this HDTV says there isnt a HDMI cable included.
also on other website i read there isnt a HDMI cable included. Also Amazon says they dont really know
@GroundZeroLP well i got mine from costco, but i believe this is a newer version and the newer ones come with an hdmi cable. My guess is that it does come with an hdmi cable, its just that the sites have not updated it.
@lonewolf1405 you would think it does considering the monitor's resolution is 1080p. it would be very stupid of samsung to ship a cable w/ the tv that didn't fully support the res.
Uh ohhh. Word of advice, this monitor is horrible for gaming. As everybody knows monitors have terrible scalers in them, and PS3/360 games are 720p for the most part. Now everything '1080p' on this set looks crystal clear and beautiful. But when you stick in a 720p game the graphics looks blown up to hell, fuzzy and blurry. My 480i CRT using component cables looked more clear than the image I got on this set and of course had superior motion, color and blacks. As for lag....
And as for Lag, oh it's there. I've been playing Nintendo and what have you since the 80's back in the NES era and I 'still' game on a CRT because I can't stand even the slightest amount of lag. I tested this set out with my PS3 using an HDMI to DVI connection and played several titles and compared them to playing them on my CRT. I even had Mega Man 9 running on my PS3 on the Sammy, along with MM9 on my Wii set on my CRT. The lag was noticable on the PS3 right off the bat...
I went back and fourth with the two several times. Mega Man controlled super zippity, quick and perfectly precise on my CRT as it should. But on the Sammy, it felt like Mega Man had this added weight to him, the jumping was not even as quick, it was actually kind of sluggish and completely hampered the experience. It might not bug some people, but for hardcore retro gamers, it would be incredibly annoying. And I'm pretty sure Game mode hardly made a difference.
Anyways, this Sammy looks great when set in Dynamic mode, it gives the PQ and color more of a pop, although overall the screen 'could' be a bit more bright. Bluray movies also look crappy, soft and blurry on this set and a smidge washed out for some reason. Use it has a computer Monitor only, that's my advice.
@Donatello97 lol thanks for the "review" and your concern, this should help out a lot of people that have questions. As for me, this is my first HDTV so its a big step up for me. I don't know much about TV's so I don't notice all the small differences you mentioned, so for me this is a great TV and I will take it anyday over SD, but that's just my opinion. Also the games I do play on it happen to be 1080p so it actually works out quite well lol.
does it come with cables to connect 2 PC??

well amazon got this LCD TV 2 weeks ago in there list of LCD HDTVs (you know what i mean?)
so this cable should be in it? and is this cable ps3 compatible? because much HDMI cables dont support 1080p
GroundZeroLP 1 year ago
@GroundZeroLP yeah the cable should be in the box. im not sure if it supports 1080p, its silver plated if that means anything.
