hello i have ps3 with its rgb that comes with it, i heard that the s-video cable can gives you better picture. i want to know exactly how to connect this cable to the TV. i have a sony trinitron 26 inch flat screen. any help pls?
First a little clarification on your TV. When you say "flat screen", do you mean LCD or plasma HD display, or do you mean CRT (old style) with a flat screen on it?
These are in order from best to worse.
HDMI- Audio and Video
DVI- Video Only
Component- Video Only
S Video- Video Only
Composite (Yellow)- Video Only
Coax (F connection- Audio and Video.
my tv is a trinitron sony i dont know exactly the model, but its a flat screen (old) not lcd, neither plasma. all i know is that it got 2 scarts slots on the back and in the front the red,white and yellow slots. does this s-video cable comes with a scart??
I'm not an expert and don't claim to know the ins and outs of picture quality, but I can tell you that from experience, S-Video improves the quality. From what I've seen, it improves the color output. I've played movies using both the standard yellow cable and compared them to the S-Video cable. The bright colors are more crisp and stable. There is no "stutter" along the edges. The difference is especially evident with cartoons. I use S-Video out for my PS2 and the games are more visually enjoyable. I'm sure someone on afterdawn can tell you the technical reason why.
Yeah. as emugamer said you will have a better picture. Composite video is sent through a single pin, whereas S-Video sends it through two, colour and brightness (chrominance and luminance). This helps to reduce many negative aspects of having a single pin trasfer all video information to the screen (like colour bleeding).
thanks for your infos, i was wondering to buy an RGB scart that gives you improved colours and sound for the sdtv. i was browsing on the net and there are lots out there, but i do not know which one is the best to buy any help pls?
