I have to freely admit that the somewhat recent advent of component video connections left me somewhat ambiguous as to what they were specifically designed for. Having recently purchased two different Sony receivers and a television with these connections and already owning two different Sony DVD players with these connections prompted some research. This research revealed that component video connections; through a 75 ohm interconnect on a HDTV or DVD player delivers higher signal quality, the best color saturation, black level and detail possible providing a sharp, clear picture.

With this research in hand it was time to make a decision as far as pricing went. It doesn't take long to figure out that one can easily spend a rather large amount of money depending on the name of the manufacturer of these component video cables.

Based on that research and pricing I opted for Acoustic Research's AP090 component video cables and have been highly pleased by this decision both in the quality of picture delivered to my system and the priced paid for these particular cables.

If you're in need of new component video cables, I highly recommend you explore Acoustic Research's AP090 as you will be hard pressed to find higher quality component video cables in this particular price range, in short, you don't have to spend a ton of money to get the quality of picture that you desire! {ssintrepid}

As I am building a newer theater system a piece at a time, I have some equipment that I bought a couple of so years back that were on the cusp of the hdmi wave. I have a Toshiba DVD player for which I decided to buy some new cables to take advantage of the features of my Sony STR-DG920 receiver.

After I installed them, the difference was readily apparent. The picture was sharper and the
Acoustic Research performance coax did wonders for the sound. Sometimes I wonder if all the talk about cables and wires is just a bunch of hype. These cables helped to change my mind. Great set of cables.
