How to Improve your TV Picture for Under $50
Many people under estimate the importance of the cables between their TV and their accessory equipment, i.e. VCR, DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver. Choosing one cable over another can improve the quality of your TV picture. In this article, we will discuss the most common types of cables and the differences between them.
Coax (Coaxial) cable is the most common cable you will find. It’s usually the cable your current cable provider is using to run a signal to your TV. It’s usually black or sometimes white. The ends have metal connectors. If you look in the middle, you will find a copper wire protruding from the center. The copper wire carries the signal.
Benefits: It is the most inexpensive cable and can be run for long distances.
Disadvantages: Lowest quality picture. It usually transmits mono sound unless attached to special equipment like DISH Networks’ dual tuner receivers which use MTS technology to transmit stereo sound to the TV2 location.
RCA (Radio Corporation of America) cables are a step up from coax cables. They have three plugs on both ends; red, white, and yellow. The red and white plugs provide stereo sound and the yellow plug provides video. Allowing the video signal to travel on a separate wire than the sound signal provides a better picture than coax.
Benefits: Better picture and stereo sound.
Disadvantages: More expensive than coax and is used for shorter distances. You can get length exceptions from Monster Cable.
S-Video (Separate video) is the best of the three. S-Video has a round end and looks like an old style computer connection. Each pin carries a different part of the video. This separation produces a sharper picture because less information is transmitted on each inner wire, whereas all the info is transmitted on one wire on the coax cable.
Benefit: Superior quality.
Disadvantages: More expensive, used for short distances, and does not provide sound. (Use the red and white plugs from the RCA cables for sound with S-video.)
HD Cables.
Y/PB/PR cables are used for High Definition video. It looks like RCA cables. However, they are thicker and are red, green and blue. All three plugs provide a different spectrum of the video.
Benefit: High Definition picture. Low cost for HD cables.
Disadvantage: High cost compared to standard definition cables. No sound. (Use RCA cables or an optical cable.)
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are best of breed. They provide High Definition video and 8-channer digital sound.
Benefits: Best picture and sound.
Disadvantage: Cost.
