You are a good man if you can tell the difference in picture quality when
using component cables vs. S-video.

Add a bad signal from the cable company or sat. TV provider and
poof.......

It is all hype........and all touted by the manufacturers and retailers.


Heh ... maybe you need better glasses .... naw....

It's just like an audio system - it's only as good as the weakest link. If
you have a super source, component cables and a crappy monitor - it's only
going to look as good as the crappy monitor. If all the gear is capable of
high bandwidth, low distortion, low loss signals but you're watching a
colorized copy of a 1942 John Wayne movie, then, well you get the point.

Technically, component cable transmission of video signals is superior to
S-video. Your actual mileage may vary ....
