Hi All
Until my hdmi cable arrives and out of curiosity my vir*in V+ box has two settings on it for screen RGB and composite what are the differences and which would be best for viewing using a scart cable on a 46in 1080p lcd hdtv
Cheers
Maz

Well first off Component(RGB)and composite are both analog connections. A composite cable does not have the bandwidth to carry an HD signal so, you will definately want to use a component cable(RGB)and the RGB setting on the tv. Component will give you a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding.

I do know that SCART carries RGB and composite video signals but, some of them don't make use of all the pins so the RGB signal is left out. If you have a newer SCART cable, then this shouldn't be an issue. Also, I don't believe SCART can carry a hi-def signal, just analog SD. What other connections are on your equipment?

Thanks for the info
I've 3 hdmi ports on tv and a couple of scarts have an hdmi 1.3 cable on order which should arrive shortly so the scart connection will become irrelavent it was more out of curiosity than anything. The v+ box has hdmi with options for 720 or 1080p so will set for 1080p as the tv is a full hd 1080p when the cable arrives
