I have both a 10 meter composite run ($100 cost), and a 10 meter S-video run ($100 cost) to my 36" tube TV.

I have a $1500 Sony DVD player (9000), and $3500 Pre/Pro/video processor.

When I freeze the frame, I can easily tell the difference between composite and S-video. Lines are sharper and color slightly deeper. However, when the video is playing, I find it difficult to tell the difference.

I suspect the difference would be more pronounced with a projector.
