Component cable for long runs

Sakie70, what makes you think HDMI circuits are especially fragile and subject to electrical overload?

I second Cleeds' question: What is the evidence that HDMI is subject to electrical overload?

Component video cables are not a complete substitute for HDMI. Yes, you can use the for video signals, but HDMI carries digital audio data as well, so you would need additional cables to use that.

Monoprice and Blue Jeans Cable make excellent HDMI cables for long runs. I have one 75 foot and two 50 foot cables that work perfectly.

I use the RedMere technology Hdmi cables from Monoprice. Great price, excellent cables, good quality build.

Don't forget, only HDMI can handle 1080p. Component cables are limited to 1080i.
