I bought a cheap SNES cable for better image quality. Normally I used the coax thing, now I used composite. Well I wasted 3 euro because it's not much better. I should have gone for RGB (Scart)...

This is the worthless thing: Image

donkey kong is a bit sharper...

Composite is better than RF on all on my systems but the main advantage is no need to tune in and less interference.

Yeah, I can also just plug it in the front, that is a small advantage.

I use the composite component input on my Dell Ultrasharp 2410 screen. It's better than composite, for sure!

I bought the cable for the Playstation 2 and it was best couple of quid I ever spent! Text and progress bars in the Gran Turismo 4 car setup interfaces really proves the point. As does the sharpness of the scenery and skybox when racing.

I also use the composite component input to take signal from my g/f's Freeview box. So we can watch TV on a 24" PC screen with decent quality. (Sadly it's not a HD box. That would be teh pwn.)

(EDIT) Damn, I always get those names confused!

I think you meant component cable for PS2.

RGB would be best on SNES but since my TV doesn't have a SCART RGB input, I'd have to buy an expensive conversion box (something like the X-RGB).
