No, I do not see much difference in S-Video and Composite video. Especially in short runs. I've worked on many high end televisions and I just don't see it. Sure, it gets rid of the Moire patterns, but that's about it. So it DOES improve the picture. BUT, there is a HUGE difference between S / composite compared to component video.

If your gear has the ability to display component video, you would be doing your customer a great dis-service by NOT using component video. IMHO

S-Video, or by the right name YC, seperates the Color and Brightness signals.

Composite video, has all video information on one connection. (the most common consumer connection)

Component video (It carries the color and brightness portions of the video signal as separate signals, and it further segregates the color signal into two signals (blue and red).)
