Don't get me wrong, i'm happy with my pic, but i crave perfection (at least as close i can get with a RPTV).
My kit is Pioneer 656a player, Sony KP-44px2 RPTV, Pioneer 5.1 system. Currently using RGB via Thor scart 3m. nice and crisp but doesn't leap out in a "I am a high bitrate DVD transfer, watch me" kind of way like my old kit used to with simple s-vid and 28" TV
Options are:
1. switch to s-video via same scart lead (can output s-video from 656 scart)
2. Switch to s-video and use s-video to scart lead (no audio to reduce interference)
3. Replace thor lead with high end lead like Supra av6 and carry on in RGB
4. stop messing and accept what i've got. I know part of it is that my image is so large all imperfections are magnified
I know that s-video out on some players (TAG/Tosh) is supposed to be much better than RGB due to conversion in player. Furthermore am using 3m distance and i have heard that s-video signals have a bit more umph over long distances? I know i'm being a bit obsessional and a lot of this is subjective, but its nice to experiment especially if i can get a gain of some significance.
Any help from bored videophiles appreciated
