Page 1 of RGB vs S-Video

Ok, the jury`s out, what really is the best?

I can only offer my not entirely technical opinion, but I believe RGB to be better than S-Video.

RGB appears sharper with more vibrant colours, with no colour bleed.
(Cable free with DVD)

S-Video is smoother but colours are less vivid, with (very) slight fuzziness at the edges. (£20 cable)

Also, RGB is the output for computer monitors, not S-Video. I know this is a lame justification, but there must be a reason for it! S-Video outs are on many camcorders due to size, plus Japan/US don`t use Scart.

It`s not just my DVD that looks better in RGB vs S-Video, but also my Playstation (I got an S-Video cable for it in the states under the illusion it was better...). Colours are far more vibrant and the picture is sharper (you can see the pixellation more evidently).

I know this thread will put the cat amongst the pidgeons, but I would like to clear this up. I had so many people saying `S-Video`, but after using RGB I can`t see any reason for anything else!

NOTE: you will need an RGB compatible TV to notice the difference, It may sound obvious but you`d be surprised how many aren`t.

General concensus is RGB is better, but not as much as S-Video is better than composite. From personal experience I would agree with this, although apparently on some sets you can`t adjust picture saturation or contrast when using an RGB input.
