Composite will give you a noticeably superior picture. However not with those cheapo cables you got there.
Go buy Monster Cable. Its expensive as hell because they use gold plating and the highest quality cable, but you'll love the picture quality.

I'm assuming you mean Composite Cables for Video and not the old Video-Audio LR...
Yes Composite is better. The ones pictured yes are shitty, although I'm not a Monster Cable enthusiast. $120 for a composite video cable set 6 feet is outrageous, and that's about what they'll be raping you for (more like 50, but it pisses me off.)
Also, anyone notice any difference between the composite video cables and a DVI cable?
If any of you use DVI, maybe this would be a good place to see if the $20 computer DVI cable gives the same quality as the $110 Monster Cable DVI....Comment

S-Video always give's the better picture. The RGB is split onto different pinsComment

Geez, I'm out of it. Its component cables for the video. Like this. The other is for audio.

^^, svideo, is a video only cable that will carry a better video signal than the one posted below. You will need to use a seperate audio connection.
^^ is 3 cables, one carrying video, one carrying left audio, and one carrying right audio. A common setup is replacing the yellow audio cable with the svideo cable you posted above, giving you a better video signal than the 3rd cable in this setup would for video.
What a few people in this thread probably mean when they say a better video signal is "Component" Video, not composite.
Component video is 3 cables dedicated to video (and the best video connection available right now). You would need these 3 cables plus an audio connection.
You could use the left and right audio cables from your "composite" cables to carry the audio along with the component video cables, however at that level you would most likely want to use an optical connection which would give you a much much better audio quality.
And no, I'm not a big audio/video geek, I just like my toys

hey does anyone know if the composite and component materials are exactly the same or does it differ a bit. Can I use composite cables (3 of them) for a component connection?

Also, saying monster cable is the _BEST_ cable out there is like saying Bose produces the best quality audio equipment.
Monster cable is the best out of the mainstream commercial brands thats are out there. There is cable you can buy that will make monster cable's pricing seem very cheap. Most people (myself included) can't tell the differnce tho, so you will do quite fine with monster cable.Comment

If your standard analog 32" TV has component cables, I assume it will accept progressive scan input from your DVD (if your DVD has progressive scan output). However in general the signal received through non-progressive-scan componet is a better signal (color separation, contrast, etc.) than s-video (which is much better than standard Coax).
On the other hand a mid-sized set such as your 32" may have too small a screen to be able to tell significant difference between S-video and component. The larger screens magnify the video line separation and therefore resolution quality becomes a significantly higher concern.
Another consideration is how you are using the system. Does your video signal from your DVD go through your A/V Receiver-Amp? If so, the type of switching your A/V Receover-Amp offers (Coax, S-video, Component, etc.) may determine how you hook things up.
In general go with the method that offers the best video signal and these video connections are as follows from outstanding to fair: DVI (digital video interface), Component/Composit (progressive scan), standard Component/Composit, S-Video, and finally standard old Coax.

You could strip down a pair of headphones and use the copper in them to make the connections. I just wouldn't recommend itOriginally posted by riosluts

Prog vs. non-prog does not change your resolution. Only the way your screen is "refreshed". It will have a more noticible effect on a larger TV, but it is not becuase of increased resolution.Originally posted by rambler

720p and 720i are both 720

Componant for sure.
My HD recorder upsamples the signal to componant and it is better than the original cable.Last edited by Shoplifter; 08-28-2004, 09:51 PM.Comment

Really good gold composite ones will give you the sharpest picture . But they are kinda expensive ...Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

I have a 12 foot s-video monster cable that I use for playing DVDs and the picture is flawless. Keep in mind the video card plays an important role in the quality of the s-video output.Comment

I went from Composite to component cables and that was a great increase in the quality of the picture if you have this option take it, Hell if you have s-video and not component and go that route its better than that shitty red white and yellow crapComment
