I do not have any fancy pants dvd player. Will I notice a difference in quality?

Yes, most definitely.. especially if you had a way to test side-by-side.

 

[FortFunFoSho]

Great. thanks for your input!

 

[Papagayo]

If you have component input on your TV, use that instead..

component > s-video > composite > rf

I've found that s-video makes the picture sharper than, say, rf, but it doesn't really do much for the color. Component cables REALLY make a color difference on my tv.

 

[FortFunFoSho]

what are component cables?

sorry new to this.

 

[Queasy]

Component cables split out the video into Red, Green, and Blue plus the two left and right audio cables.

 

[royaldank]

Your DVD player might not support component. If it does, it will be clearly labeled on the unit.

 

[FortFunFoSho]

Ok I checked and I do have component outs. can I just use an extra set of rca cables for it? Or do I need to buy a special cord?

 

[Queasy]

You can get by with an extra set of rca cables.

 

[FortFunFoSho]

excellent!

 

[Kaido]

just make sure your tv has component inputs

I bought my component cable off ebay. do a search for Python brand cables, they're pretty nice and very inexpensive.

[IGBT]

..what/which big screen tv did you get??

 

[aplefka]

No TV's in the UK or Europe have component cables.

Pretty much everything uses SCART, one big cable to plug in that does the lot. It's a brilliant connector.

It can carry Composite, S-Video or RGB signals, so there's no loss of quality. Wonderful invention.
