Thought I'd let everyone know about a small experiment using HDMI cable.
Using an AV Amp & PLasma equipped with HDMI sockets, and a cheap DVD player (and I mean cheap £20.00).
Connected as follows.
DVD to Amp using S-cable and Fibre Optic Cable
Amp to TV using HDMI. (Amp capable of outputting through HDMI regardless of source)
The net result is an improved picture, sharper and more depth - sort of improvement gain from say standard scart to S or RGB.
The movie was LOTR III - I guess the best improvements will be with newer discs.
Disclaimer! I'm not saying that this is anything like a true HD picture but worth the gain for a £10.00 lead.
Note- I've only tried the following equipment, other combinations/manufacturers might not be so compatible:
Amp - Pioneer
TV - Panasonic
DVD - Targa (Re-badged LG)
