The Demise of Scart Cables Vs the Rise of Hdmi Cables

On first glance, you would have to say that the uncomplicated scart cable has had it's day. With the rise in sales of big flatscreen Tvs and the proliferation of high definition Tv, why would anyone use a scart lead these days?

Well, as I say, on first look, the examine is valid. The potential of the photo and sound advent through a Hdmi (High Definition Media Interface) cable is second to none with a crystal clear photo and clarity of sound that is unmatched, admittedly not by a appropriate scart cable at any rate.

But that is not why the death of scart leads is nearly upon us at all. It should be but it is not the case. The uncomplicated fact is that while the uptake of Hd Tv is great and more and more habitancy have household electronics like blu ray players, play stations, x boxes and the like, the fact is that a lot of habitancy still need the basic scart relationship to enjoy their Tv experience.

If you think of how many habitancy still have video recorders, dvd players, non high definition satellite receivers & digital Tv (Dtt) receivers, the numbers are massive. Without the humble scart cable they would be at a great loss.

The examine then is what is the best scart lead to choose to suit your television needs? There are two types that you should admittedly consider. They are the commonplace appropriate scart cables that do not have gold plated connections and there are the high end scart cables that are gold plated. The gold plating in the connectors allows for great change of audio and video signals. The problem with the higher end scart cables is that they are very high-priced relative to the economy no gold plated cables.

A typical non gold plated scart cable of nearby 1.5m would set you back something in the region of maybe five euro where as a high end cable might set you back twenty five to thirty euro. That is five times the price. Is it worth it? Probably not, the potential of an audio and video signal through a scart cable is not anyone like a Hdmi cable and especially if you are running it to an older Tv. My opinion, just buy the economy cable.

Unless you are a serious audio/video phile, you won't notice much or any signal degradation.
