DVD + PS2 = should I get S-video cable?

[StageLeft]

Apparently the S-video gives better quality of picture and I'm interested in maximizing DVD quality...I am using only the included RCA cable now - how much difference will the S-video cable make (yes my tv supports it) ?

It's like the difference between a horse and an alligator, not necissarily respectively or from any one frame of reference.

I am using the S-video cable with PS2 and I can't tell a difference in the quality.
PS: I have it connected to a Sony Wega.

<< how much difference will the S-video cable make >>



About 13.84 on a scale of 32.

Thanks for reponses but Desertfox's is the only one I really understand

Well, you say your TV supports it (S-video), but what kind of TV do you have?? That will really let you know if you will be able to tell the difference. You would be able to tell on a higher end Sony Wega TV so to speak, but you might not be able to tell on a standard 27&quot; TV.

Its a samsung 25&quot; - I paid about $350 for it new, I can't remember how many lines of display it has - more than the minimum; its picture isn't bad but its certainly no $1500 TV.

S-Video will give you better color separation. If the colors seem to blend at times, S-Video should elimiate that.

I say the difference is worth the cost of the S-video cable. Not as good as component video (which is amazing), but definitely better than standard composite cables.

Yes, definately go for it given the cost, your colors will thank you

Cool, cause colors were what I was wondering about
