Component video cables

[friedpie]

Are they worth the extra money for DVD players? I just bought a Toshiba DVD for $80, the component video cables were (if I remember correctly) $50!

That seemed too much so I passed them over. I read in my manual that component video cables offer better picture quality. How much better than RCA?

Thanks

you don't need 50 dollar component cables

just get the 15 dollar ones at radio shack

I picked up a set of component video cables from Parts Express they work just fine for me.

I was looking on the Radio Shack website, didn't see any for $15. The cheapest I saw was $35 for gold ones. I guess they don't have every item in stock on the website. Will check them out in person tomorrow, thanks.

Usually its unnoticable unless you have an hdtv output signal.

But it nevar hurts to upgrade.

Yeah, they can make a difference, but you don't need to spend that much on them...

Have some custom Canare cables made for you, like I did.

Just use the RCA cables for the component video hook up.
