Page 1 of Cable for best picture quality..scart?

How can I get a really good picture? (sound is no prob as it goes via a
digital optical cable).

I have tried the QED gold plated scart lead (£49.00, Richer Sounds) and saw no difference to my bog standard, no-name black scart lead.
DVD: Pioneer DV 454, TV: Sony Widescreen 28" widescreen

Do I use Scart, S-Video, what?????? Whatever film I watch, I always seem to get a tad of screen noise (most notable in the skyline of the opening to The Thing - anyone else getting this??)

RGB is said to be better than s-video although there is little difference.

The main point to make is that the smaller the screen size the less likely you are to find much difference when upgrading cables. A £15 scart is fine for a 28" tv. On larger screens like 42" Plasmas you will notice better picture quality and perhaps a £50 scart is then justified or if you have them, Component connections.

With regard the screen noise on The Thing, this is probably just down to a cheap transfer onto disc without the manufacturers spending money digitally cleaning up the original film, after all it is 20 yrs old.
