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!
