I posted this in the Audio/Video forum as well, but no responses.

Well, basically I have a Dreamcast, and I just purchased a Saturn and on ebay looking for a SNES.

I noticed they sell Composite cables that also have an S-Video connection for all 3 consoles. Does the S-Video connection work better on any of the consoles compared to the Composites?

I have a Samsung 40" LCD TV, and I've read about problems with old consoles and LCD's, so I'm basically looking for the BEST possible connection I can get out of the 3 systems onto my LCD.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

If your TV has a VGA input, that's the best you can do for the Dreamcast. VGA looks fantastic...

The best you can do with those other consoles is S-Video
