Component / S-video cables
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to TV cables so please help me on this one. I have a Sony Trinitron. This is probably obvious but I have S-video labeled on the back, that means I can only play S-video cables, and not component? And how old can the TV be to play component? HD-tvs only?
The cable sockets are: Video Red/Blue/Green, with Audio Red/white, which are exactly the same as the component wires. Maybe I can play with component? Jam it back in, in the dark. Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User]

Yes. You can play component.
This sorta question is like "I have antenna in and composite connections. Can I only use RF adapters?" This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
In order to use component cables, you must have an ED (enhanced definition) or HD TV.
If you're tech illiterate or whatever, look for blue and green sockets on any TV as composite only use yellow, red and white. Since your TV has them, it is capable of at least 480p. Most amazing jew boots |
Sweet, thanks for the info!
Is there any difference between MatCatz's wires and the official Nintendo wires, other than the price? I was speaking idiomatically. Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |
Possibly the quality and length of warranty.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
It might have been easier if you posted your tv's model number. FELIPE NO |

Um..
He said "In order to use component cables, you must have a EDTV or HDTV." which is wrong. You can use component cables on a SDTV, which is a tv which supports them, but not 480p. My SDTV also accepts component cables, but it won't run in progressive scan, or 480p. I've tried. Most standard televisions don't have component cable support here, because there's no demand for it. I remember phoning Sony NZ and they said "Wow component cables for the PS2? You must be making a pretty impressive set up." Also, my SDTV supports a 16:9 mode, but that does not make it ture widescreen. It feels weird. My HDTV, however, supports both, as well as 720p and 1080i. The only problem is that it upscales quality for composite, s-video and component, which makes music/shooting/fighting games look like ass and play like ass. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
How we each interpreted Standard Definition and Enhanced Definition and "use" is pretty much different. See, I inferred he meant the functionality of enhancing the image, and you obviously felt like being an asshole.
Again. Sadly, the topic creator already got his answer and I don't feel like having another scientific discussion with you. The long and short of it? You seem to have an incessant need to be an asshole and I'm more than happy to have played "fuck fuck semantics" with you, to watch you achieve this goal. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Yeah I remember selecting 480p in the Wii's menu and my TV spazzed out. It was awesome. Wait no it wasn't. It was really awesome.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Ok. Look. You didn't read the links you provided. And you don't know the difference between SDTV and EDTV. I'll explain: Depending on the SDTV, it typically supports rf, composite, s-video and component. This is what mine supports, although an older television I have only supports composite. Composite is used for EVERY console shipped, regardless of whatever post-2000 console it is. Standard definition televisions support (note: you said you understood his comment as using component for an "enhanced image") an enhanced image by using component cables. They provide 480i, but not 480p/progressive or above. FURTHERMORE. The thread is titled under the Wii category. This implies that he does not have any other seventh generation consoles, considering at least PS3 and 360 owners have HDTVs already. And I assume he doesn't have a HDTV - after all, the thread creator mentioned he didn't know much about televisions, yes? And he mentioned he owned a Sony Trinitron, yes?
But that post indicated that you couldn't use component cables to get an enhanced picture (your perspective) on a SDTV, only an EDTV and HDTV, right? Wrong. You can USE them on a freaking standard television, providing they have the red, green and blue holes at the back of the television. And since the thread creator most likely owns one, yes, you can use them, and yes, it will give an enhanced picture of 480i. But no, it won't give you 480p/progressive, and no, the Wii cannot output a higher HDTV resolution. In short: SDTV = lowest quality tv = component/scart = highest quality = 480i max. EDTV = medium quality tv = component = highest quality = 480p+ HDTV = highest quality tv = component/hdmi = highest quality = 1080p. I can see the confusion. But to say you cannot use cables on a television which supports them is wrong. The difference in quality is limited to the television, not the cables themselves. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Information transmitted. Thread over.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Hehe. Re-opened. xD If you're going to argue, please use Private Messages, even if you think you're helping.
Anyways, I just got ASID component cables. (It was $20 less than the official and I can return it anytime I wanted for store credit, so why not.) And... I see absolutely no difference at all. Maybe a 10% clearer picture but that's it. I guess it's my TV, cause I can't enable 480p. If I do, the picture gets jumbled. I'll check later on my step-dad's HDTV if he allows me .___.

Wow, I didn't think a thread creator could override a mod closure.
How ya doing, buddy? |
And yeah, it was mentioned before that you'd need at least an EDTV to take advantage of 480p, so it'll probably work on your step-dad's HDTV. Hell, I can't think of an HDTV that doesn't support 480p unless we're counting defective units. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Don't do it again. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
