In Reply to: S-video vs. Component-video connect posted by zaphod on January 25, 2000 at 13:00:34:
Component video connections are, in my experience, much "better" than S-video. Color saturation was deeper and color rendition was more accurate to real life. If you're going to spend money on a new set, definitely get one with component video. Panasonic simply hasn't jumped on the wagon yet, and I think you'll see that most (if not all) other manufacturers are offering sets with component video connections.
While not sure on comsumer sets, in the video professional world, component is the choice. I am a video post editor and component is the preferred choice. A component beta is often preferred over D2 composite digital video tape, although most popular format right now is Digital Beta which is component digital video, although compressed. I am going to get a new TV tomorrow, although not sure which one to get, but am looking for component video inputs for my DVD. Any suggestions on TV brands?
I've got a Toshiba Cinema (their top 36" from last year) and love it, although the comb filter is it's weakest link. I've heard that the new Sony Wega TVs are awesome as well, but I haven't had the pleasure to enjoy a properly-calibrated one.
