xbox component video cables quality

[kitkit201]

hey

i am getting a small 20" tv with component video and im thinking of buying a component cable for it from lik-sang.. my question is, is the picture quality worth it for component versus S-video?

thanks

I have a 20" TV with component. Have my xbox plugged into it and the difference between component and s-video can't be seen....at least by my eye.

what's the point of having component input on a 20" TV? Seems super useless to me.

In any case, with a display that small, while you can tell the difference between composite/s-video you'll have a lot harder time noticing an improvement from s-video to component.

Some people use smaller TV's on their systems to test video feeds during editing. At least I have in the past.

ohh i see.. well we will seee, soo there isn't a real difference huh? 🙁

Well... the cable isn't going to put you in the hole and it will always be nice to have in case you get a newer TV or have to swap the Xbox through another electronic component in your entertainment system.

does the cable quality matter much? monster cables are hella expensive.

ohh the cables arent from monster, i found them on lik-sang and gocybershop, for about 6 bucks and another 6 for shipping to US..

if you buy the xbox component adapter it should come with component cables
