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

And looking at the differences in prices...........I can understand why.


BTW, I forgot one important item.

Component cables are the only form of consumer video transmission that
will
work with the progressive scan output of your DVD player or HD cable
transmission. Composite and S-Video will only support interlaced mode.
If
you haven't tried it - progressive scan yields a much smoother image with
less flickering than the older interlaced mode (your old, pre-HD TV set
is
interlaced).

I still watch movies on Beta on my 19" black and white TV.....not too much
of a selection of movies at Blockbuster though.

But if I use component cables to connect my Beta to my B&W TV will I have
whiter teeth and a better return on my investments?

Only if your fly-back transformer doesn't bite you - or your selenium
rectifier doesn't blow up.

There's a smell I hope to never encounter again. :-)

I remember my father tearing the house apart for a week searching for a dead
mouse until the TV finally quit and source of the smell was discovered.
