The Philips 21" component input DID make a difference - I remember how muddy the Chronicles of Riddick on my older TV looked. Plugging it into the components made it look brand new.
By the way I agree. Stay away from Panny sets.
Maybe ur old TV just suck too much that anything else looks good. J/K.
Anyway, i didn't know 21" also got component input. Now i know.

TMTANWHACKY: Component input is the best a TV can get before the existent of HDMI. It's the Red, Green, Blue connectors. It separate the colour to Red,Green,Blue and carries 2 other attributes in two of the channels.
Composite is the normal single yellow connector. It mix everything in one single line.
For HDTV CRT, you MUST use component cable to get HDTV display and same goes for progressive scan DVD player(480p).
