Yes, VGA is better than component. The picture is just clearer and the colors more rich and defined. Of course, it depends a lot on your tv as well, but as a rule, VGA is the way to go.
 In regards to your thoughts on using a VGA connection to play your Xobx on (at least, that is what I think you are trying to do), I wouldn't do it. VGA is old-school stuff that only supports 16-color and 256-color modes and 262144-value color palette (six bits each for red, green, and blue).  Whereas Component Video is far better in almost all aspects. Â
 You can go to this link and get a general feel of Component vs. VGA video: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video
  That is just my opinion, and a bunch of facts for ya :).  Does that kind of answer your question?

Nope, VGA and RCA are different. VGA is the cable that you would use for a Computer Monitor. RCA is the Red, White and Yellow. As far as these are ranked, it would go Component as the best, RCA as the next best and VGA as poor. And if you happen to be Rich enough to have it, go S-Video :) heh
You are all seriously misinformed. VGA is the best way to go, until the Elite and HDMI land ashore. VGA murders S-video, it's a lot better than Component and RCA is just too old to even bother with. No offense, but this is all pretty obvious...

I was just going off of what I read on a couple of WebSites. You sound pretty sure of yourself there though. Â
I've tried both Component and VGA on a monitor and an LCD tv and VGA offers a sharper more detailed image on both. I know some people have problems with washed out colours using VGA but this comes down to the monitor/tv and can be corrected by tweaking the settings. One thing to be aware of is if you want to output at 1080p then you may notice some video tearing via VGA although 720p is fine.

If your tv takes VGA and you want to spend an extra 40$ Go ahed nothings wrong with it. But if your using HD Componet then stay with it...its not worth the 40$ change
