I have to agree with Tim, here. I have an Amstrad Digibox and the RGB
output
is notably crisper than Composite. I've also ordered one of the RGB to
S-Video converters so I'll be able to do a side-by-side comparison soon (I
had originally ordered a Keene one, but fortunately they were out of
stock).
My telly is a Panasonic 36" Tau. Cables are all _relatively_ good
quality.

BTW, Tim - you were supposed to keep the Chroma-hack a secret on the RGB to
S-Video convertors, you bad man ;-) Apparently, it's only for you flash
Plasma-owners. John reckons an AV amp won't pass it and most TV's won't
recognise it.
