S-Video vs VGA vs R/G/B/HSync/VSync

Howdy,

I have a Sharp XG-E1200U projector. It works great but is really old so only has inputs for S-Video, VGA, and the old 5 port R, G, B, H-sync, V-sync hook ups.

User's Manual Link - Inputs on page 5

When playing from my DVD player that has S-Video and Component outputs, I want to get the best picture quality I can. Would I get any increase in picture quality from S-Video by getting some sort of converter (assuming they exist) to go from Component Out to the r/g/b/h/v inputs on the projector? Or even Component to VGA maybe?

Just wondering it the picture quality would be noticeably better (on a pretty huge screen ) if I looked into something like this.



Thanks!

Well, unfortunatley, buying a new DVD player isn't in the budget any time soon so I'm just looking to get the best I can out of the ones I already own which all have Component and S-Video only.

Doh. Didn't realize I was in the wrong forum. Heh. Oops.

And I didn't think about the laptop idea. I guess I'd take an upshot in the video department but a downshot in the audio department since Id' be using the headphone jack output to the receiver instead of the nice optical cable.

But if the VGA would look better than the S-Video I use now, I might just have to give that a try.

Thanks all!
