I received my 1050 today and am anxious to hook it up tomorrow but would like some input on whether to use the S-video connections from my DVD to the 1050, or run component cable direct from DVD to monitor. I understand the quality vs. convenience trade-off, but what I'm mainly interested in is the cost-benefit of S-video vs. component cable since I have to run a little over 10 feet and there's a considerable diff in cost involved. I've always used component cable and am not familiar with how an S-video picture compares. If I run S-video to save some bucks and enable recording a lot easier would I be sacrificing a lot in terms of picture quality? Experienced user opinions appreciated.
