In Reply to: Re: COMPONENT vastly superior posted by WSB on January 26, 2000 at 12:19:31:
I have been upgrading TVs and video source components in my system pretty steadily for the last several years (3 TVs, 3 VCRs, two DVD players). I found a larger improvement going from S- to component than going from composite to S-. As I said above, I can A-B between S- and component on my current TV/DVD set-up, and the difference is dramatic.This situation could be unique to my equipment combination. YMMV.

I have been in contact with very knowlegable guys at BARCO in Melbourne and they confirm what Lee says - no question component is a large leap ahead. I suggest the salesmen pushing s-video are doing so either out of ignorance or because they have a lot on non component gear to dispose of - maybe a bit of both.Peace at AA

I am definitely going to try component video. I have one problem though: I have a Sony 32" Wega tv, a Pioneer Dv525, Denon 3300. I purchased Monster Video 3 Component video cables awhile back and ran them between my tv, dvd player, and reciever (it has component switching). i kept the S-video hooked up for A-B testing. I loved the Component picture, but it I kept getting anoying horizontal moving bands of orange or purple color intermittently. They seemed to crawl up and down the screen and seemed to be "connected" to different parts of the image as it moved around. I hooked the cables directly to the tv to make sure it wasn't the Denon, same problem. I didn't get this with the S-Video cables at all. Im not sure if its the Pioneers Component outputs or the TV's component inputs that are at fault. Maybe its the cable? Anyway the S-Video picture still looked excellent (not as good as the Component) but vastly better than the composite (although that may be due to the fact the composite was of the "out of the box" type) Any ideas? I ended up taking the component cables back. I really want to enjoy a component qaulity picture, but I don't know where the problem is. Thanks for your help!
