Screw HDMI sound wise go Optical. My opinion at least.
I've debated this myself, my DirecTV is hooked up on HDMI and my Xbox is hooked up on Component. But it is a gold platted component cable.. Dont' know if that matters. I think Component looks just fine on video games but as noted its better to have HDMI for upscaling DVDs. Also noted the bigger the TV the more noticeable the difference might be. I'm on a 57 inch projection and it looks fine to me. I saw my friends 40 inch 1080p using HDMI and obviously it looked a lot better but I can't decide if that was from A. using 1080p or B. HDMI or C. Smaller screen or D. all of the above.
