As well, and depending on the set-up, it helps to reduce the number of very long cable runs. I need an 8m cable from most of my components to my monitor, so I only use one very high quality S-Video and one very high quality component cable run. All of the components are then connected to the 950 / video processors / signal switcher with very short lengths. Probably no difference in picture quality but it does cost less this way.
