What are you connecting the TV to? You'll need a HDMI cable for each one.My cable company included an HDMI cable with my box without additional charge. It works fine. I think it's 6' long. You might want to talk to your cable or satellite provider to see if they can give you one.If you have a DVD/Blue ray player that has an HDMI output then you'll need to get another cable for that. Check the back to make sure it has an HDMI jack first. Models over a year or so old may only have component inputs.A 6 foot cable should work fine. HDMI is so easy...one cable to connect to the TV and they only fit in one way. What are you connecting the TV to?

I also have a PN50B650. It is wall-mounted so I connected 3 HDMI cables to it for future use. I used 12 feet in-wall rated cables, but I think could have managed with 6 feet cables. The only HDMI currently in use is the one going from my TiVo to my HDTV. I will eventually be connecting an A/V receiver to the HDTV via HDMI and a Mac Mini to the HDTV with the third HDMI (using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter). When I get a Blu-ray player, I will connect it directly to the A/V receiver with an HDMI cable. The best place to order cables is from m o n o p r i c e . c o m. Spending a fortune on expensive Monster cables is a waste of money from what I have gathered on various AVS message boards. I also have a PN50B650.

Dear Blanca,Thank you for your question regarding our High Speed HDMI Cable.For in-wall installation, the minimum cable length may vary based on your local law/regulation. Technically, there is no minimal length for the best HDMI performance, but a good rule of thumb is the shorter the better. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

these guys have a pretty good explanation that unfortunately doesn't help those who already purchased this, but maybe will help others. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/component-to-hdmi-cable.htm

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

Buy the bigger kit. I believe that allows more than one additional tv to be connected. I think it's a big price jump to though. How many tvs are you trying to connect to one source.

Mine came with 1 HDMI cable, however, I'm not sure that's standard. To be sure maybe pick up one extra. You can find a decent one for about $10.

I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and... » Read More I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound « Show Less

You will want to buy an hdmi cable. You can get it for about $1.98 on Amazon if you search. Believe it or not, because HDMI is a standard, all HDMI cables whether they cost $100 or $2 perform equally well.

Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs. Don't buy the expensive cables - but do buy good ones from one of the two I mentioned. They are both good suppliers - I have bought from both.Which cables you will need will depend on the devices. For example; is the the DVD equipped with HDMI or component or S-Video? RCA plugs for sound or optical.Better let your son know about each one ASAP so he can get the proper cables in time for him coming home for the installation (that's what I did for my mom recently).Good luckYou will really enjoy your new Samsung - it is a fine piece of equipment.Geo Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs.

Thank you, Erika. I'll be getting some inexpensive HDMI cables, then, most likely the AmazonBasics. Happy New Year!L

Amazon has a great variety of 50' hdmi cables and I would contact Orei to find out which to buy. Usually a more expensive cable is better.

Tiffany, I have just two more to sell. However I saw that there's 60 sellers so you'll have no problem getting what you need. I noticed too that Amazon themselves is carrying them and at a much lower price than mine. I don't normally suggest not buying something from me, but with the number that you need, I feel it's appropriate to give you the best advice. My goal really is to satisfy Amazon customers so in your case I think you'll appreciate the savings. Check it out and you'll see (copy and paste this number - B00IVFCIFG into the Amazon search bar either in All departments or Toys & Games, and you'll see what I mean. Have a blessed day, and best wishes for your party. Sara Tiffany, I have just two more to sell. However I saw that there's 60 sellers so you'll have no problem getting what you need.

It should come with four 60ft BNC cables for each camera. You can purchase other cables from 25ft up to 150ft through Amazon. If your just setting up for your house then the 60ft should work. I would suggest checking out the cameras when the package arrives. Hook them up and make sure they work. What I can suggest to you is to pick up some cameras that have a higher TVL (Television Lines). Like a 400TVL to 800TVL which improves the quality of the video you're seeing. You could buy the DVR by itself, the cameras separate, which some of the cameras come with 50ft BNC cables.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!

My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor. I have it set up to view 9 cameras at once. 3 on top 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom. I found I really don't need 10 cameras but have an extra one in case one dies on me or I decide I need it at some point. Not sure if that abswered your question or not. Its a 16 channel system so you can use 1 camera or 4 or 8 or buy enough to put 16 up. More than 16 cameras for this system I don't know. As far as intergrate it with another system. That's a question I cant answer. My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor.
