As I've been getting into high-def game recordings (a lot of it is going to be for VGV), I'm going to start buying cables. I'm interested in knowing what the best picture is for any consoles that can connect to a TV.
Note: this is only for NTSC, not PAL (so no SCART connectors).
Numbers represent quality on a scale of 1-10.
[7-10] HDMI (digital, one cable with both video and audio)
[7-10] DVI (digial, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[7-9] Component (analog, three video signal cables + separate audio cables)
[7-9] VGA (analog, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[5] S-Video (analog, one video cable with two signals + separate audio cables)
[3] Composite (analog, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[1] RF (analog, one signal cable with both video and audio muxed)
Now let's actually get to the list!
