terzdesign | 8 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Has anyone seen what the difference in video quality is between these two things? I own the purple monster cable and it looks pretty good but wanted to know if it stacked up to UltraHDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Two completely different cables. S-video is analog and was meant for CRT's while ultra HDMI is a digital mod meant for HDTV's. You do have more options with the UltraHDMI but IMO, N64 games looks best on a CRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terzdesign | 8 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 I've actually been playing with this S-video cable over a projector screen. It's pretty great but the audio out is a bit of a problem since I have the system hooked up to a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin03 | 314 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 We had an S-Video cable for a CRT, moved to HDRetrovision on a CRT, and finally UltraHDMI on a flat panel. I am very happy with the UltraHDMI on my living room TV. There were enough options for scaling and smoothing to get an effect I am happy with. Scanlines weren't too bad either. No MiSTer quality but good enough. I gladly moved on and stopped using the RGB modded console, CRT, and OSSC. The question is if the cost is worth the smaller quality bump and convenience of HDMI.
