Ya Ya we have heard it before free PS3 if you sign up for 3 or more sponsors that will eventually ring you up to about $600 and then when the time comes that you actually get you PS3 you cant afford anything else.

also if i bought it and a game would i be able to go home take it out of the box and start playing right away or do i need other accessories?? like cables or something?

go to woolworths website and there is a 32 inch hd tv for 379 pound

no i think you got the wrong one you don't need to sign up for 3 or more sponsors you just get one offer and thats the end of it no calls no nothing to bill you up to 600, and the site doesn't offer it's OWN services it offers from trusted services like aol or green flag and other ones and you don't actualy think aol would call you and bill you for 600,i joined it and i never even got a single call from anyone, but anyway it's up to you if you want to believe or not

Hondan, sounds like you know your stuff, very nice!!

Can you clear something up for me though, am I correct in assuming that component can also be scart in the UK and S-Video is primarily used in Jap land?

If not can you explain the differences with a scart connection.

Many thanks

I have my PS2 connected by S-video at the min. For me it gives me a sharper picture than SCART. I wouldn't say it's mainly for Japan and when I get my PS3 until I can afford a HDTV I'll be using S-Video again.

Lostdog, I am not as familiar with the EU standards, since I have not had much experience working with the standard. However, from the limited experience I have dealing with SCART, I was always under the impression that SCART is somewhat camparible to the composite and S-video connections, but not as much on the component level.

I think SCART is capable of carrying multiple type of signals through its 21 pin configuration, and that includes standard audio in/out, composite video, S-Video and RGB connections. Now, let me break it down a bit further, RGB is a type of analog component connection, and it is capable of displaying a image in both interlaced and progressive mode.

However, the RGB included in SCART cables are not exactly the component RGB (aka. RGBHV), but rather a trimmed "bare-bone" version of RGB that can only carry an interlaced signal, we refer to these type of connection as RGsB. So, in other words, like S-Video and Composite Video, SCART is only capable of doing 480i or SD at best, although a 480i signal coming from SCART's RGsB will be somewhat comparable to a 480i signal coming from a standard component output, which is typically the best analog 480i you can get.

One negative thing about SCART I have noticed is that without knowing the specifications of your SCART enabled devices, you can hardly tell which type of connection the video signal is getting fed from, since SCART can carry multiple types of analog video signals.

So, in other words, if the one SCART port between two devices can only output video signal from its composte pin, then you will get a composite 480i, which is the worst 480i you can get, since composite signal mixes the luminance (brightness information) and chrominance (color information) into one channel (1 pin) and transmits that to the display.

If the both SCART ports between two devices can support at least composite and S-Video, then you will most likely get a 480i signal through the S-Video pins of the SCART, which is better than composite, since S-Video splits the luminance and chrominance information into two channels (2 pins) before sending them to a display. Now keep in mind, technically, S-Video is considered as a type of component video. However, in practice, when people refer to component, they typically refer to RGB, YPbPr, or YCbCr connections. I am not going to go any deeper into the YPbPr and YCbCr connections, since they will just complicate things even further.

Finally if both SCART ports between the two devices can support the output of composite, S-Video and RGsB, then you will get a RGsB 480i signal, which is equivilant to the component 480i. This type of 480i signal is the best SD signal you can get, since the chrominance information is broken further down to Red, Green and Blue, along with the luminance information. I believe this information is carried through 4 pins of the SCART connector.

I am not sure if Japan mainly uses S-Video. I been to Japan a couple of times, but I have never checked what kind of connections they use in the hotels. I will check it if I ever have a chance to go back there again. I hope this helps...

Thanks for that..

One final thing!! In your opinion what is the order of best connection? Is it:

1. HDMI
2. Componant
3. S video
4. Scart
5. Composite

Hondan · #59 03-05-2007, 01:32 PM

I would have to say HDMI > Component > SCART (if the ports support RGsB output) > S-Video > Composite.

OK thanks man.
