Scart length

Apologies if this somewhere else on the forum, I had a quick scan but couldn't see it. I was basically wondering if a short difference in the length of a scart made much difference to signal quality.

I've seen a 3m on a good deal but only really need a couple of 1.5m, they're from a sky+ box and a dvd player to a panny plasma. Would I be better paying twice as much for the 1.5m (not on a deal) or will there be little difference if any if I go for the 3m??

Re: Scart length

As long as the scart cables are of reasonable quality I very much doubt you would spot much (if any) difference between a 3m or 1.5m lead, as long as it isn't wrapped around power cables that is!
