I need some helps. I tried Monster 2 Component Video between my DVD player and my Digital Ready TV. In parallel, I also had S-video cable. Side by Side I can't tell the true benefits of having Component Video; however, the s-video side had a darker color than the component video side which makes the s-video side look a whole better. What am I doing incorrectly? I thought that component video cable is supposed to be a whole lot better...providing cleaner, crisper images. Granted that it does with the shielding, but I had to squint and focus my eyes very hard in order to detect the shielding benefits. Thanks.
Follow Ups:
a couple of things to keep in mind....component video uses internally different decoders/encoders than Y/C or even composite video...they generally require that you change the setup when you change format (adjust your chroma, luma, setup) to optimize the picture...secondly, the DVD player is converting a digital signal to analog and encoding as YUV for your component output...there are significant differences in encoders, and the one in your DVD may just not be the best...finally, many people don't like component when they first see it because they've gotten used to cranking black with Y/C or CV, making higher contrast...personal preference may come into play, that you like over-black video opposed to true video response...a lot of people do!
If I read your response correctly, you are saying that component video produces less blacks (contrast) ? I ask, because I guess I'm one of those people who like deep blacks/contrast, since I enjoy a lot of Sci-Fi movies. I am considering going the component route to my front projector because I thought it would provide deeper/richer colors than s-video. However, if I am going to loose contrast, I may reconsider.
it should be better. Try optimizing the picture with the component input using Video Essentials.
I have MIT component video cable and Monster S-Video. I can see clearly the difference. The image is cleaner, crisper with component video. But I think you may see difference on a large screen tv only. My tv is Mitsubishi WS-65857 which has 65" screen.
What are you using as a monitor? I think Jim has hit on a very important item.
I have a new Mitsubishi WS55807. See my previous question. I haven't had a digital-ready TV before. I am just wandering whether or not I am expecting too much out of the big screen that I just got. At the store, the picture from the Lowe's TV seems a lot better and even for the WS55805 seems a lot better too. Thanks for your inputs.
