Which Video Connection Should I Use?

most advanced for digital displays.

and a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

Component - Component video provides a sharper image
than composite video and S-video because the three video
signals provide higher resolution and more detail.
Good
(analog)
S-Video (AV1) - Combining the video signals into two
channels, S-Video provides a sharper image than
Composite video, but is not as good as Component video.
Composite (AV1 & 2) - Video signals are combined into one
channel, thus making the image less sharp than Component
or S-Video.
