Component connections are very inexpensive to do. RG-6 75 Ohm coaxial cable can be had for as little as $0.12/foot plus a few bucks in terminations. I set up my HT with component video cables that I made in this manner, three 45 foot long runs each, plus one additional 45 foot run to be used as a composite video cable to use my pre-pro's OSD. A total of 180 feet, that was under $60. This was compared to a very expensive and highly reviewed Nordost videophile component cable costing several hundred dollars, despite being much shorter in length and the video was visually indistinquishable between the two cable options.Often, component video can be run at less expence than S-video, particularly for long runs.
This comparison was performed on a large screen front projection system, 115" 1.78:1, using various DVDs as the video source. Such a large image would make it much easier to see any potential visible differences between the two conditions as compared to a small video display, such as a large RPTV or a large direct view TV. Also, the Nordost was a much shorter run than the RG-6. This would further reveal any video inadequacies inherent in the cheap RG-6 cable, but none the less, as said, the video images were indistinquishable from each other.
