So I recently learned that composite cables improve SD content

Meant component

Yes, using component cables splits the signal over seperate cables, so less interference can occur.

>does this extend all the way back to consoles like n64 or NES?
Yes, but almost all SD consoles' native format is RGB (not YPbPr).

For the best quality, you'll want a device that can accept interlaced RGB signals. A big-ass arcade monitor would be ideal, but a big plasma or CRT would be good too. RGB was all over the place in Europe, but almost unheard of in the USA; any TV you got in Europe had several SCART sockets, all of which accepted RGB component.

In the USA, your best bet is an arcade monitor, but some US TVs took SCART; they called it "EIA Multiport".


* for the entirety of the SD era, we'd laugh at you guys, because you were using composite video, and sometimes upgrading to the "mind-blowing quality" of S-Video, whilst all our TVs and consoles just came with SCART.

N64 and SNES have s-video. You would know the NES only has RCA and Coaxial out if you ever had one.
