“i didn’t quite understand your experiment… and did i mention i use an s-vid cable?
btw, “component cables” are rca’s to me… same plugs…”
They are the same plugs, as I said, they’re just a different color. That’s why I said you can use a composite (red, white, yellow) cable to connect component video, you just have to be careful not to mix up the colors (red=red, white=blue, yellow=green). the difference is on the inputs/outputs on the TV/DVD player. If your TV doesn’t have component inputs you can’t connect component video.
S-video is superior to composite, but not as good as component. You really should try my experiment. I would be very surprised if you don’t notice a difference.
“we recently found out that if you leave a static image on for about 5 months, you actually can burn in the image.”
Did the burn-in stay permanent, or did it fade over time? Ususally when you start playing other images on the screen the burned-in image WILL fade. This will not occur with plasma or CRT sets. Just curious. That was a good experiment!
