need the truth about component video cables


I'm in the market for a 2m comp. video cable and I'm a little confused. I've read some articles on the differences between silver coated and straight copper cables. So I went ahead and got the Better Cables Silver Serpent and the Monster video 3 for a comparison. The movies I demoed were Toy Story, gladiator, And Star Wars. From the reviews I read here on Agon and on Audio Review, I was expecting a fairly noticable difference between the two, but, I didn't. On Toy Story the picture did look slightly sharper but not by much, and on the others I couldn't tell a difference. Is there really a difference and I'm just not seeing it, or is there really not that great a difference between video cables. Whatched them on a 65" Toshiba HDTV with a Toshiba DVD (not Progressive scan). Any help is appreciated as I'm going insane. Thank You, Chris

I use the Better Cables Silver Serpent and like it. I use to use a Monster M1000cv. The Monster seemed a little more grainy than the BC's. But i could tell a difference for the better when switching to the BC's (although it's not drastic). I was using it on a Sony DVP-NS900V with progressive scan. like the other said, you'll probably only see a good difference when viewing progressive scan....
