4.0 out of 5 stars Philips S-video Cable: Review, June 12, 2007

I would have to agree what everyone has said about this product:

- Its a decent price for a S-Video
- The quality is slightly above average
- Its by a brand name company
- You get what you pay for
- Good purchase if your willing to save some money for a decent product

I hooked this S-Video up to my Digital Cable Box (not expecting it to be significantly better than the Coax Cable) and and could tell the difference in dark scenes and in color variables.

And at the same time, nothing to complain about the product

This review refers to Phillips 6ft S-Video Cable

I find myself switching up my video equipment a couple of times a year, upgrading to whatever new is coming out. VHS, DVD Player, DVD recorder(which also plays DVDs and CDs), and most recently a combo VHS/DVD player unit. I need all my connections to get video output. I don't have progressive scan on the TV I used this cable. So I'm using my antenna connection, a straight to TV connection and an S-video for the connection where I want the best picture(for viewing films), with the various components . If I was to rate this product solely on the video quality it gives, I probably would go 5 stars. Clarity and signal strength is excellent and one of the best in it's price range. Also, the cable wire and outer shield are are heavy duty and and long lasting.

S-Video connections, unlike the colored wires and hook-ups that usually come with the piece of equipment(I've got a drawer full of those) must be bought separately. They are not just straight plug ins. They have a specific shape and configuration of the outer shield and inner prong connectors. These inner wires are the ones where my problem came in. Although I thought I was being super gentle, they bend and break easily if they are not lined up perfectly going in. I think this happened around my third change over.

I've been surfing around to order a new one, and found that theses cables are a much better buy here then directly from the stores. I stopped in Circuit City yesterday, and almost choked when I saw the difference.
So it's worth surfing around here, reading the reviews of the various brands and qualities. The shipping cost can sometimes run as high as the cable itself, so check with those outside sellers, some have really good deals.


Happy Viewing....Laurie
