How to Connect a Monster PS3 Cord to a Toshiba HDTV

There is more than one correct way to connect your PlayStation 3 to your Toshiba HDTV. It simply depends on what your preference is: High Definition Multimedia Interface or component AV cable. Both will give you high-definition resolution -- 1080p for HDMI and 1080i for component AV. The other main difference between the two is that an HDMI cable is one cable with a connector at each end, whereas a component AV cable is one cable with one connector on one end and five on the other. The choice boils down to personal preference.
