Component cables are worth the investment. Even video with 480i will be sharper and brighter. I bought some Monster cable and my first game played was outrun 2006 coast 2 coast, immediately I could tell the text got better and noticed the picture got brighter more vivid colors. My TV can't do anything other than 480I but its great picture and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon.
For the S-video comments, it's limited to 480I, technically it can support up to around 540P but was never in the original plans so they won't let devices use it that high

Usually you would get composite/S-Video in 480i. At least that's how early DVD players used to react.

Huh, I seem to remember my SDTV going all crazy when I enabled progressive scan on Game Cube in S-Video, but maybe that was after we got the component cables. (does SCART RGB support 480/576p?) Originally Posted by Christuserloeser

It most definitely outputs 480i via YPbPr to his SDTV, so I'm not sure how it determines that. (or if 480p isn't really available at all in component)6 days older than SEGA Genesis
