2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?
The VIZIO L30 WGUe LCD TV has five different ways to connect your video equipment from a
basic one to the most advanced for digital displays.
Connection
Quality
Cable and Connector Description
OK
Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio
and the video in one cable. If you have an antenna, this is
the only way you can connect it to the LCD TV. If you
have a VCR, you can connect your antenna/cable to the
VCR RF Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this
connector.
Basic
Composite. The complete video signal is carried through
this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used
video connection.
Good
S-Video. The video signal is separated into two signals,
one containing the black-and-white information and the
other containing the color information. Separating the
color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely
spaced black and white lines are erroneously displayed in
color. It also enables text to be displayed more sharply.
Better
Component. The video signal is separated into three
signals, one containing the black-and-white information
and the other two containing the color information. This
enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the
superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD
players and HDTV formats.
Best
Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is
received digitally coded and it does not convert the signal
from digital to analog. The other inputs are converted
from analog to digital by the LCD TV. Movies are digitally
encoded on DVD’s and so by using a component such as
the BRAVO D2 DVI Enabled DVD Player from VIZIO with
a DVI output it will produce the ultimate picture
performance.
