Should I use component video cable or progressive scan?

Question

I recently bought a component video cable for 16.99 dynex cable but my TV's component input doesn't support 480p with the component cable because with the composite yellow cable progressive scan works. So my question is which cable would produce a better picture in an Sdtv ( huge bulky old tv) a yellow cable or componet video cable. the reason is i dont get the difference in much quality
Composite= progressive scan
Component= Interlaced connection

Answer 1

Hrm.. I don't think you understand the terminology. An image on a tv is produced a by lines, generally starting from the top left corner and working down horizontally. This is interlaced or when you see 1080i.



The same idea, just working down then starting back in the corner and working across is progressive or 1080p.



Component is generally 480p but can be 480i. These have 3 different cables for video and are generally thicker than composite. 2 more (red and white) for sound.



Composite is just yellow red and white. Yellow video, white left speaker, and red right speaker.



Component is better than composite because each colour is added separately giving a more colour range. However, these cables fit into composite slots and can still be used for composite depending on the device.



For an SDTV, I will almost guarantee that you will not be able to physically see a difference between these two inputs. For an HDTV, Component is significantly better.



I'm also not familiar with SDTV's having an input for component?

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a progressive scan cable. Component cable is 3 rca jack used for video connection for the Red, Green and Blue Color to a tv. This cable will provide you a better color than the yellow cable. Hope this will help you out.

Answer 3

Wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as progressive scan from composite video.
