I'm using a Sony XBR analog until the new Sammy's are released. I found a color problem until I went with a component cable and 480i (component won't work on any other setting). I'm not a videophile so I don't know the correct term but on composite cable (changing through all resolutions made no difference) I would notice a slight problem. S-video was truly horrible. Color was all over the place. If you looked at a person's face, part would be in correct color, but say from the cheekbone through the cheeks it would be all washed-out or pasty looking. Had a ghostly looking effect. Color in the background would do the same. Watching a baseball game was a horror - field had numerous shades of green. Looking at a person's clothing would produce the same effect - areas would be true color, others (particularly around folds in clothing) would be all washed-out and pasty. Bad enough that I really couldn't watch it.
Component cable set at 480i solved all of the problems. I don't see the minor problem I had with composite cable and, of course, the horror of S-video is gone. I really don't understand why S-video was so bad and I tried every possible combination of settings to resolve it but never did. Component and 480i on my analog set is comparable to they way a DVD appears on the same set. Definitely better than the old cable picture.
Now, I not so patiently wait for the new Sammy's to be released.
