Hi,
I am still deciding on the components that will build up my Home Cinema system and have become concerned over the various views over this particular subject:
I will be buying a Panasonic 42" Plasma Gen 4 or 5 I am no sure at the moment.
I have Sky Digital and (maybe) upgrade to Sky+.
I have a Denon 3802 AV Amp which I may use to perform the video switching. (I don't at the moment, but that is beside the question )
Which is the better solution (and by that I mean compromise between picture quality,ease of use & functionality) for getting my Sky signal to the plasma.
I believe my best 2 options are:
1) RGB - Svideo conversion via a JS-Tech Converter, I could then use Video switching via S-Video on my AV Amp or connect direct to the Panny Plasma. The benefits are lower costs and full use of the various zoom modes, I use JUST a lot on my current Panny 28" CRT.
2) RGB - VGA conversion, again via a JS-Tech converter. I would have to connect direct to the Plasma with this. I lose Video switching option via my AV Amp, lose the zoom modes on the Plasma, Higher costs (at least for the initial outlay on the convertor) but possibly a better picture?
I think the S-Video solution suits my situation best, but I would like to have your opinions or other suggestions if I am barking up the wrong tree...?
Regards,
Kirk
