Anyway, up 'till I took some half decent phono cables (Qunex, IIRC) down

Component Video. We swapped the cables last night and *kaboom* - wot a
difference!! Much, much sharper, if nothing else!


A red white yellow cable is designed for short runs of stereo audio and
composite video - like from a games machine into the front of the TV.

'Serious' video should use proper video cable. In the same way as you'd
use decent aerial cable for an aerial. Or a 1.5mm extension lead for an
electric heater - not bell wire. Nothing magical at all.
