Newbie Cable Mistake, please read.

Posted by sheavy on February 4, 2008 at 13:04:50:
I think i made a major goof, i wanted to get some component video for my standard def denon dvd changer and sony a2020 rear projection tv, Having my head up my arse i ended up purchasing Nordost Silver Screen RGB+HV Video, i hooked up the red, green and blue connectors to the back of my tv and to the dvd player, thus leaving the white and black cables unhooked. The picture seems to look like it should, but i'm wondering if i would be seeing a better picture on my tv had i purchased the Nordost Silver Screen Component Video with just the red green and blue cables without those two extra wires that come with rgb+hv cables that aren't hooked up to anything. Can someone please shed some light on this for me. A huge thank you in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.

Silver Screen HD RGB Video Cable consists of five proprietary Dual Micro Mono-Filament cables to carry red, green and blue color signals as well as horizontal and vertical synchronization information. This new design introduces more air space between the conductor and the FEP insulation reducing dielectric contact by more than 85%. The result is a cable which is physically smaller than conventional video cable but with much lower capacitance and resistance resulting in higher signal speed and resolution. Silver Screen HD RGB cable is the ideal solution for projectors and HDTV monitors which require sparkling picture quality, depth of picture and superb edge definition. The reduction of insulation contact by more than 85% means that this cable has an extremely wide bandwidth and high signal speed. Signal loss is very low at less than 1.13db at 5MHZ over a 30 meter length.
Silver Screen HD RGB cable is available terminated with either Nordost dedicated 75 Ohm RCA plugs or BNC connectors for data grade applications
