Hello readers. Just picked up a Toshiba SD-1200 DVD player from Mob Shop for right @ $200. It has ColorStream(TM) component outputs. My question is, now I am evaluating 32" TVs in the $600-700 range and want to know:1) Is it preferable to stay with the same brand? My current No. 1 choice, Toshiba's CZ32V51, has component inputs, as well as S-video and composite inputs.
2) Is S-video a subtle or significant step down? Fry's in my area (San Diego) is closing out the highly rated Sony Trinitron model KV-32S40 but it only has 1 S-video input.
Any advice would be welcome! Thanks in advance.
Just make sure you like the set's picture. Keep in mind that most sets are misadjusted at the store, so the one that looks best isn't necessarily going to be the best in your home when properly calibrated. Differences between component and s-video are pretty subtle on 27" and smaller direct view sets. I don't know about 32" direct view. Component vs. s-video differences are clearer on my 6 ft. front projection set-up.
I have a 32" sony wega with component and S-video inputs, with a Sony DVD player (I think it is a 530). The DVD player is hooked up to the TV through the receiver using S-video (the kind that came with the DVD player) and directly using Monster component video cables. I will not profess to be any kind of expert, but I can switch quickly between the indirect S-video connection and the direct component connection and I do not see any noticible difference.
