I just hooked up new inexpensive component video cables, with the proper 75 ohm characteristic. Even with the ordinary 27 inch Toshiba TV set, the picture was significantly improved.
"Component Video" cables
I just bought a DVD player to mate with an old (but good) TV set which my wife will use to watch mushy movies at all hours of the night. Since I didn't have an S-video wire handy, I hooked up the three-wire component video interface using a elcheapo three foot audio/video cable that I had on hand. Of course this means that only one of the three wires is the intended 75 ohms.
It works, and quite well. My question is...can I expect any improvement if I invest in the proper wires? A quick check of one cable supplier shows 3 foot interconnects at three price points. $65, $37, $9. Of course there is a fourth option, do nothing, which costs nothing.
What's the scoop?
