Took this photo a while ago and thought I’d share it with people on the off-chance any of you are as sad as me.

This is what black looks like on our super cheap DVD player over our super expensive
component cable compared to how it looks over a normal video lead.

Both sides of the screen are from the same DVD via alternate inputs (DVD player has dual output, TV has more inputs than you can shake a stick at, plus split screen, obviously).

The component cable is on the left, the ordinary AV cable is on the right.

Fairly astounding huh?

And don’t get me started on colours.

Unfortunately we have spent more time watching the Wiggles than anything else since we got the new cable, and no one should have to suffer that much exposure to primary colours…

Without doubt the best thing I have seen on the internet for quite some time:

“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the
Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern
life?”

Garfield Minus Garfield

Absolute genius.
