HDMI vs Component cable for video

Hi all, seeing that we have so many beyond-ers nowadays, can you guys clarify if component cable will give better picture quality for SD channel compared to HDMI cable?

I do not have a component cable with me at the moment, if it really will improve the PQ (similar to S video cable for old decoder) that i want to purchase one tomorrow.

thanks alot!!!

my actual experience.. i have both component and hdmi linked o my tv.
component using red blue green cable and audio using red and whie cable. result: video only stream in 576i. HD channels PQ is excelent and not much drop compared to HMDI inputs which streams video at 1080i. if assume 1080i gets 100%, then component scores 93-95%.

not much differene for SD channel.

surprisingly audio using red & white cable sounds louder from hdmi cable.. weird cause HDMI supposingly carry lossless audio. Astro has to fix this.

This is from my sight and hearing test not using any special tool gadget

thanks alot bro. appreciate your sharing. because i heard from some bro that they tested component works better for SD channel.

From Paultan.org....yay!!!!!!!!

After an off-season full of drama, Formula 1 is back this weekend with the Bahrain GP. Supported by Petronas, which is also the title sponsor of Michael Schumacher’s Mercedes GP works team, broadcast of “the pinnacle of motorsports” returns with live coverage of all 19 races. In addition to covering Formula 1 across its TV, online and mobile platforms throughout the region, viewers can tune into the new ESPN HD channel.

STAR Sports will broadcast more than 600 hours of F1 content in 2010 including pre and post-race shows Race Day and Chequered Flag hosted by Paula Malai Ali and Steve Dawson. STAR Sports’ coverage will also be bolstered with the addition of former Jordan chief designer and technical director Gary Anderson, who will add technical expertise to the live commentary team comprising veteran commentator Steve Slater. For the first time ever in Asia, F1 live broadcasts will also be shown in High-Definition on ESPN HD.

Online content at ESPN Star’s website includes Live Race Centre featuring lap-by-lap live race coverage and commentary, online video highlights, insightful columns by Steve Slater, the F1 Fantasy game and a new winner prediction game sponsored by Petronas. Autographed helmet by Schumi anyone?

well said bro!!! rclxms.gif

some ppl prefer better PQ in pillar box mode

while some prefer to have screen filled but sacrifice abit on PQ

so just bring back all the options. no point arguing pillar box > strech mode lalalalalallaal

I'm not sure if I should continue the debate here. I think Astro is doing community service here that
we should not fill up the screen of our LCD if the picture is stretched. Since you guys not accepting other
people opinion and still insist on stretched mode, i will feel sad bro. SD is not meant to be enjoyed in
stretched mode sad.gif
