Component - real component not RGB via the SCART socket - seems as good as HDMI on my own TV (fairly standard Toshiba with VGA, SCART, HDMI, composite and component input. If you have component input it's usually a group of five phono sockets, two of them for audio the others for video. I use the component video for a media box and will probably get an Apple TV at some point, which is also component video. The iPod is connected via composite because teh dock only provides composite and s-video. If you have an s-video option, use that. If not, composite, I'm not sure that you'll find a component video option.

I think most tellies I watch on will be "not the greatest" so I think (hope) that the difference between iPhone-sourced component and iPhone-sourced composite will be negligible due to the high compression of the video. > I use the component video for a media box and will probably get an > Apple > TV at some point, which is also component video.

But I can't justify both cables. > If you have an s-video option, use that. If not, composite, I'm not > sure > that you'll find a component video option. I don't think iPhones output to s-video without the use of a dock (which I don't want). Talking of which, I need to order that cable... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
