Apples and oranges

If I read your post correctly, you want to use three composite cables in place of proper "component" cables because you can get a deal on them. They may function, but they're not equivalent and will degrade the component signal. Why compromise a major purchase like the new HDTV to save a little on cables?

I suggest you find a retailer who will let you purchase component and HDMI (or DVI) cables with the understanding that you're going to demo them at home and return the one with lesser performance. Places like Sears and Radio Shack should accommodate you with return privileges, but you may be limited to overpriced consumer brand cables.
