Since you are interested in comparisons, goto the SEARCH of this page type in the cable of interest and make sure you do the search under the CABLE ASYLUM. Furthermore, to read more about cables and comparisons, goto www.audioreview.com choose "more" and then click on cables and do your search.If you have the budget and your into tweaking that will improve the quality of your video, goto www.psaudio.com to checkout the powerplants. You can even do SEARCH to read about P300, P600, P1200.
PS I would never buy a cable from Target, I've spent way too much money on my equipment to degrade the signal traveling from one component to another.
Note: I may need someone to comment or verify, but if your looking for a no compromise cable, silver would be the way to go such as Audioquest YIQ-4 (expensive), which has lower impedence than copper and using 32-36 AWG to reduce the skin effect of the very high frequencies that will travel along the cable. But we also most be practical here. He's running cable from a DVD player to a TV, not a CRT. He probably won't see differance between an S-video vs a component cable, even if he has a 36" tube TV.
Follow Ups:
Yeah, I was asking for myself as well. I agree 100% about buying a cable from Target. Still, with one person saying they couldn't tell any difference between a cheap cable and expensive cable, well, I just don't know much about VIDEO cables. Audio cables on the other hand, well, I've had very positive experiences. The assumption is that this would translate to video as well.I have searched and can't find anything in the way of component cables. Just not much on them...I assume they're just too new. Most use S-video which is perfect for non-hd.
Hope I didn't sound pushy, I've been spending some time at AR (ugh!).
