This has been bugging me for a while so I thought I would see what the forums thinks on this.
In Chesters Comet (sealand road) they have a Plasma screen setup split screen with 2 DVD players (the same) one with a monster scart and the other a normal scart lead.
On the screen they have both dvd player displaying the same dvd at roughly the same time -- fair enough so far...
However while checking the screens inputs (the remote was handy) I noticed the monster cable dvd player was set to input on RGB and the normal Scart lead was set to input composite!!
Now correct me if I am wrong but surely they are misleading customers who belive spending £70 on a scart (more than the price of a dvd player these days) will get them a better picture
When actually comet is really only showing the difference between signals and not the cables.
Granted there may be a difference with a decent scart lead but this is plain taking advantage of people who dont know and come to a dealer such as this for advice.
While in the store I saw an oldish couple shown this demo and then proceeded to the checkout with a mains coniditioner and an expensive scart!
Anyone agree that I should mention this to trading standards as to me this is surely illegal
