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…
