HELP!!! vga vs component vs s-video vs dvi vs hdmi
There never has been and currently is not a TV in the world that can do what a standard 5 year old CRT monitor can do and thats a fact. Its just a tigher and sharper image. Mind you it is much smaller and that to me is a factor to consider.
The VGA cable running from your monitor to your video card needs not only to carry multiple types of data but fast enough for a good sync/RefRate.
A component cable essentially does the same thing but it is designed for a different display architecture. Televisions as I said are significantly inferior to CRT’s and so data is not only carried diffeently it is also diplayed differently. Signal degradation is not nearly as noticable on a television as it definately would be on a monitor.
Your XBOX 360 is a computer in every way and even processes display information through a video card. It would perform best( as in looks the best) in this order.
1. Flat Computer Monitor with VGA (CRT still looks best but LCD is fine if not for some occasional ghosting issues)
2. High Definition LCD/DLP running through, DVI or even VGA at 1080i resolution n(DVI and VGA will give the same performance to the human eye on an LCD Television though DVI is superior for this display type.
3. High Definition LCD/DLP running through Component Y,Cr,Cb, or Y,Pb,Pr at 1070i
4. Standard Flat Analog Screen running through analog component Y,Cr,Cb, or Y,Pb,Pr at 480i
5. Standard Flat Analog Screen running through s-video at 480i (degraded image from compression)
6. Standard Flat Analog Screen running through composite cables at terrible performace.
7. Standard Flat Analog Screen with a coaxial connection…. oh god its bad and oh yes.. it does get worse!
