>Component for 360, PS3 and Wii

I can understand for the Wii, but why on earth wouldn't you use an HDMI cable for the 360 & PS3?

>>324050620
No, it's not. It's the video signal separated into different pins. It still uses the rca red and white stereo wires. It looks WAY better than composite.

Component whenever possible, s-vid for retro nintendo stuff... Until HD Retrovisions finally gets their shot straight.

>>324050737
You need to be 18 to post here
>>324050620
It has a huge increase in quality over composite. Not as good as component or RGB, but if those two aren't available it's definitely the best choice.

>>324049014
RF antenna screws, but the little Y prongs on my connector have bent and broken off so I have to strip the plastic back to expose the wire and wrap it around the screws on the TV before tightening them down.

>>324050620
You're a goddamn moron.

>>324049918
nah it's not about shielding, it's just that the connectors themselves are better when you have L/R dedicated RCA jacks instead of pins. That's why people mod SCART to include them sometimes.

>>324051471

Naw man how about fuck you. There is a very noticeable difference in quality among certain cables for certain systems. Getting a cable often isn't some sort of crazy expenditure either.

Here is a good lesson for you to learn: don't settle for shit.

>>324051394
RGB SCART is actually the best one for that if you don't plan on playing anything with higher res than 480i.
PS2 doesn't have good colors over component.

>>324051394
I swear I could only tell the difference with the PS2's menu but games always looked the same.

>>324051542

>>324051535
Well desu it is my third one. The first one RROD, then they "fixed" it and it RROD again then they sent me a "new" refurbished version of my console. It's loud as fuck but it has been working fine fore the last 5+ years

>>324051394
That's actually one of the cases where S-vid is better if you aren't playing at 480p

>>324051568

Nope. Component looks better than Composite and S Video at 480i as well. Brings out the colors more and the picture is sharper. If you play PS2 on an LCD, there is no comprehensible reason to use anything except Component/HDMI.

>>324051547
No I used HDMI outputs and streaming like a fucking normal person.

Its fine to like any of those 3, but arguing over them like one is better then the other? thats theres actually a notable difference?

you faggots have infested /vr/ with this shit. and enough is enough. they're all the same when in motion anyways, and kid you never gave a shit, so why give one now?

Have fun not being able to play any Nippon Ichi games.

RGB Scart is the way to go. Not like there are many games that take use of the progressive scan of component cables anyway.

>>324051661

I know that the one with the screws goes into the back of my desktop, and the colored ones go into the back of a TV/HDTV. What else do you need, really?

>>324051642

RGB is pretty much just an explosion of color. Component yields a better picture overall.

>>324051813
Every Dreamcast and Xbox game supported 480p. Every GameCube game worth playing supported 480p. The PlayStation 2 had maybe 5~10 games tops with 480p support unless you forced it through GSM, and GSM came around after the PS2 had died and nobody cared about it anymore.

>>324051883

Last time I checked my PS2, SNES, Genesis, etc. are outdated consoles that can be emulated to perfection and are no longer needed,

>>324051926
I bet you confuse DVI and VGA. They both use screws. Then there are parrallel ports and serial ports that a lot of medical and government organizations still use for their dot matrix printers.

Component

Never got S-video to work.

For retro consoles, RBG like for a computer monitor was best for Dreamcast.

>>324050825
The last-gen potatoes only max out at 720p for 99% of their games library. Might as well stick with Comp.

>>324049014
HDMI and Composite since that's what I usually use.

DVI-D Because my monitor and TV aren't pieces of shit you scrubs.

>>324052265

Damn right I do. I think my monitor right now has both.

I have them both plugged in to my desktop is that good or not, i literally have no idea

>>324051979

Tekken looks a lot better on Component. As for the other games, I'd like to see is TV color settings.

>>324051903

I have a Playstation S Video cable as well so if something doesn't work I just switch to that. In my experience, S Video is just a small jump from Composite (but it is noticeable as well)

>>324052051

The thing supports progressive scan for almost any game, some supporting even 720p. Also the console outputs shit interlaced signal.

>>324052463
You don't need the blue one connected.

>>324052507
All of them, including Tekken, are washed out. The same thing happens over the Saturn and other systems. Just look up the other comparison videos.

>>324050620
S-video is halfway between composite and component/RGB.

Human perceptual colorspace is three dimensional, so you need three independent channels, whether it's RGB, brightness/hue/saturation, or whatever.

Composite puts all three on the same wire modulated into different frequency bands that the display needs to re-separate, component uses three separate cables.

S-video uses two signal wire pairs, one for brightness, and the other with combined color/saturation, which the display still has to electronically separate.
Each sub-signal is identical to the composite version, and the brightness/color signals could be put back on one wire with a stupidly simple adapter.

>>324050507

I'd rather use composite than live in a third world PAL country.

>>324054114

It always depends on the console.

Yes, obviously component supports higher resolution. That doesn't make a cable the greatest automatically when wanting the best picture quality.

I've recently started using component cables for my PS2.
It seems to me that it makes the games look way cleaner and sharper, so that only the aliasing caused by the resolution remains. I couldn't compare side-by-side though for obvious reasons so I'm not sure if there's a difference or if it's just all in my head.

One thing I don't get is this: why is 480p or i preferable to 576p or i? I mean, the latter is a higher resolution so why is it even an option to press X and triangle to get 480?

Use HDMI in full color range. The problem is with the user, not the technology.

>>324052874
All I see are phone cables, power extensions and controllers, you cable box sucks man.

If it has HDMI out, HDMI. If it doesn't, I just use composite. The Wii is the only exception to this, I use component cables for that so that the inputs on my HDTV don't go wasted.

>>324054736

The best resolution to play at is the native resolution of your display.

Also you don't have to do the X and triangle thing for most games since most don't support 480p. There is an option in system configuration to switch to Component. YPbPr.

Framerate. 576i is usually paired with 25fps or 50fps, while 480i is usually 30 or 60fps.

Because the rest of the world (particularly US and Japan) used to use 480, most games are designed to run at 30 or 60fps and often have issues and various timing-related bugs with PAL framerates.

Only because the standard connector for PAL was SCART. My NTSC consoles would have just as nice colours if our standard wasn't composite.

Component is objectively better. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking retard.

When I connect my Wii U via component, I swear the colours look nicer compared to HDMI.

Is it just my TV or what?

Look up Software Transparencies, and how Sega extensively used them during the Genesis/Saturn. You should also check out dithering while you're at it

Apparently GC games on BC Wiis + component cables are less sharp than when played on a GC + component cables. There's some kind of dithering and blur going on on the Wii. I've seen someone comparing them in some forum.

>>324056970
I'm aware of both and how some developers designed their games with a fuzzy RF/composite signal in mind. But that's on a case-by-case basis and it's nearly impossible to determine how a developer intended for their game to be presented, especially when you factor in re-releases and remasters that alter how the game looked. So as a pure video signal, component is objectively the best of out of this lot.

>>324052141

HDMI litterally is just DVI with sound.

The component part of my Trinitron has a pinkish purple line on the left side of the screen no matter what cable or console I use, so I use S video.

>>324049014
Component is objectively the best out of those 3.

>>324052141
DVI is shit, HDMi and DisplayPort are the only cables that should exist now.

>>324057776
I have heard that as well, but as I'm sure you're aware, the difference in image quality is absolutely not worth the retarded prices you have to pay to get a GC component cable these days (here's hoping that guy who reverse-engineered them in 2014 actually does something with it)

for me as a PAL user, GC component cables are a hilariously overpriced meme because PAL GC's cannot ever output a 480p signal no matter what cables you plug in there. glad I never wasted money on that I guess

There is a huge difference, I grew up playing Gamecube with S-Video and whenever we played Smash on a TV with composite it was instantly noticeable because of how blurry and shit it looked, all in an era before HDTVs were popular.

I use S-Video when I can since my that's the best my Trinitron can use. Used component cables on my PS2 before, though, and damn was the video quality vastly improved over composite.

>>324052247
>emulated to perfection
tell me anon, what's 2025 like?

>>324057776
The GC component cables had a chip in them and the first-model Wiis had a slightly weak graphics processor, there's no dithering but the main thing you'll notice is slightly weaker color output. It can be compensated for by creating a custom color setting on your TV though.
