TV question

bkenobi:

On a higher end (for the day) set with a decent source, svideo looks marginally better than composite.  IMO the difference is unlikely to be night and day.

RayB:

Depends on the device and quality of the television.

Take a Super Nintendo for example, plugged to a new high quality CRT, and you'll see it's sharper with SVHS than composite. But I'd assume that hooking either cable up to a cheap TV will look pretty much the same (that is, not as nice as the quality TV!  ;D)

DJ_Izumi:

On my 27" TV, S-Video is a great improvement since it eliminates composite dot crawl and is shaper.  Only my digital cable box is on S-Video though, the game consoles I do on component and it's lovely, bright and sharp. :)

Funnel:

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll settle with composite. Oh and Happy New Year to all!

I think you should go coax....  ;)
