There is *almost* no such thing as bad quality component cables. Do NOT
believe the Monster Cable hype. Just pick up some cables of the correct
length at your local Target or Wal-Mart. Depending on the length, anything
more than $10-20 is spending to much. You can quite easily get buy with the
old Left Channel/Right Channel/Composite video cables. The ends are the
"wrong" colors but the picture quality will be fine.

And even though this page says "Online Only", I've seen these same
cables in my local store at about the same price.

I've never done business with the company below, but others here have
recommended them:

Here's an online company that offers component video cables for under
$10 (again, no recommendation from me - I've never done business with them):

I'd bet that a quick search of Yahoo Shopping or eBay would turn up a
whole lot more.

I got some nice Philips-brand cables for $10 at my local Sears. Just
happened to walk by, and went in to see what they had. They seem to be good
quality.

I got a GE cable on eBay for $1. The shipping brought it up to about
$10 but it came right to my door!

Home Depot carries the RCA 6 foot cable for about $10. Nicely made cable.
Stay away from Monster -- way overpriced.
