    Does anybody here have any recommendations for s-vdieo cables for my gamecube, and ps2? Also component cables for the xbox (the xbox is for another TV). It's basically impossible to find first party connectors so I was wondering if you know of any good third party cables.

    The last thing I want is to make the situation worse, or introduce video lag. Getting away from video lag is why I bought this dang tv in the first place!

    Edit I've always been sketched out by third party cables.

    Will this work well or do you have any recommendations?

    edit: I'll just let this thread die since all my questions about the TV have been answered and I'll start another.

    Running through s-video helped so much, completely eliminated the dot crawl. I still notice on very very small text though it isn't totally clear like the composite screenshot earlier in the thread. You can periodically notice an effect by staring at it which I think is some sort of artifact from the scanlines.

    As I said I'm sensitive to this and haven't used non-progressive standard def in over 8 years.

    What I'm seeing is had to desribe, it's almost like a black line periodically goes through which like I said is probably just the scanlines. But if it's not a small texture I don't notice a thing, it's only on really small text. Does everything sound normal for my wega?
