So I am playing the part of poor college student right now, and I picked up an Epson projector from a buddy for $250. Right now I am running just a standard video cable to the projector from my DVD player, and the picture quality is ok.... definitely not great. It's an Epson Powerlite S1+ with a resolution of 800 x 600. There are 3 different video inputs: standard video, S-video, and component video hookups. I called a couple of etailers for a component video cable, and they are going to run me at least 80 bucks, because I have to have a breakout cable (basically, the component input is in the form of a 21 pin monitor input, but a breakout cable goes from 21pin connector to Y/Pb/Pr)
My question is, will I notice a difference going from standard video to S-Video or component video? Or is my systems major limiting factor going to be the resolution on my projector?
Thanks for your help!
