How to enjoy next generation game machines with high image quality

Although high-quality graphics are game machines such as PS3 and Wii that are also one of the features, it seems that the picture quality will change quite a bit with a bit of things. Although it is inconspicuous if it is a small TV, it is conspicuous as it becomes big TV.

According to this article, I tried playing Wii's Zelda on a large-screen LCD TV, and connected the Wii and TV with a composite cable (the most popular red / white / yellow cable, yellow for video) And the connection with the component cable (the cable connected to the D terminal) is that the image quality is greatly different.

Composite connection on the top, component connection on the bottom


When connecting with a composite cable like this, the contour and color will become blurred wind, but when this is connected with a composite cable, the luminance signal, the color signal, the synchronization signal which composes the video are synthesized, It seems to be caused by the deterioration of the signal when the video equipment such as the television that received it separates the synthesized signal again and makes it into video.

On the other hand, when connecting with a component cable, the luminance signal, the color signal and the synchronization signal are separated, respectively, so degradation will be reduced.

By the way, even if you have a TV with no component terminals such as the D terminal, if you have an S terminal that separates only the color signal from the video signal and transmits it, you get better image quality than the composite.

For the composite, component terminal, S terminal, the following link is detailed
