No, the HDMI is not included with the TV. I too ordered this TV on the black friday sale for $950 & ordered the HDMI cable separately on www.eforcity.com. My TV will be delivered on the 6th Dec and I am hoping that the cable reaches before that. At what price did you order the TV?

I am seriously thinking about getting this tv through BB later today. I've looked around the web and the cheapest is here on Amazon for $1199.Getting it from BB after tax would save me $324 and that is significant enough to want to upgrade my 46" 8 year old LCD tv, even though my wife will give me grief. =^)

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now? I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008.

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.

WB, I just ordered this TV and so far the process has been great. I placed the order the day before yesterday, got a confirmation email this morning saying it was shipped, And a phone call from the shipping company M.. something asking me when i wanted it delivered .. I could of got it by this coming thursday but i work and am goin outa town next weekend so they work around ur scheduel to deliver when your at home. (If someone isnt home the day they deliver and they have to come back you can get hit with a double shipping charge - That y the person on the phone scheduels a day/times for ur delivery. I'll be getting mine on the 11th of June. From what the shipping company they told me on the phone they expect you to fully inspect the TV and you can refuse it if there is a defect to get a replacement...only after you've inspected the tv the delivery person leaves after you sign a piece of paper saying your happy with it. If you do refuse it they'll send it back and you have to contact J&R and tell them why ect... I'll keep you posted when i get the tv and check it out on the 11th. So far everything has gone by fast and smooth. I was a little sceptical too cuz its alot of money. UPDATE : 6-12-07 The delivery is top notch. the tv arrived new and no defects..i would recomend it. It comes with a year and a half warranty thrrough sony so if u have issues find ur closest sony style store abd pick up the info on who u contact etc in ur local area. DC

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

I got rid of mine but I'm pretty sure it did come with cables. The manual should tell you what cables are required. I think there is more than one way to connect it to the TV so you'll have to decide which method you'll use and then figure out which cables you need.

It's funny that Amazon listed EE as having the TV and now they are on back order. EE has them listed as in store only. I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks also because it's a good price when ever they get it shipped.

Not sure if you missed my review, but this TV is very bad quality... and again there is always the 1% chance I got a bad unit, but that seems to be too much of a coincidence for a super cheap tv. I have ps3, xbox360 and now PS4 and when I hooked them up the TV still looked awful, so I got the 60" samsung smart tv instead, and its INCREDIBLE. It was like 300 more or something but so worth it. Wait til Black Friday and get something good! Dont cheap out, thats my only advice.

No it does not include a HDMI cable. Probably because it would add $50+ to the price tag and your cabling needs are going to vary widely. (Selling HDMI cables alongside of a HDMI-capable device requires the cable to be licensed separately - not required if the HDMI cable is sold by itself, which explains the absurd price difference). If this is for a home theater, I recommend doing what I'm doing, which is building it one piece at a time and repeatedly using a tape measure. That will reduce missteps but it will take longer. I was originally going to put the BenQ W1070 on one wall but after getting it and playing around with it a bit, I ended up putting it on a different wall, which meant a completely different strategy. Had I bought all the parts all at once (including cables), I would have had to ship most of it back.

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

I bought mine at Best Buy. Waited for 3-1/2 hours before they opened at midnight, but got my TV. Why order when I could take it home and hook it up that day?
