Okay, your crazy

S-Video is capable of displaying only 480i or 576i

Component is capable of displaying upto 1080p.

So there is a big difference.


Options are.

HDMI - One cable carries both audio and video - The best

DVI + Optical or Coaxial - One cable for audio and one for video - Second best

Component + Optical or Coaxial - One cable for audio and one cable with three heads at each end for video. - Third best

ETC

Component + RCA
S-Video + RCA

No need to go on.


@kimonas1000 - Just keep in mind that you can never exceed the maximum display resolution of your T.V. , anything that exceeds it will be down converted to meet the max resolution of your T.V.
