It's great actually

[llorando]

I do, the are some pretty good quality adapters.

[Supergodman12]

One of my friends was like" You lose a little quality using it but" that true?

[llorando]

If your using a cheap, no name adapter, then yes you can lose some picture quality. But for quality adapters like yours's, there will actually be a slight improvement in picture quality compared to composite cables (Yellow/red/white), as the adapter is able to receive a component signal which is higher quality then composite.
Here is a image comparing a composite signal to a component signal, top is composite and the bottom is component, you can see the bottom (component) is more clearer and detailed compared to the top (composite).

[Supergodman12]

What about what he said?

[llorando]

I wouldn't worry about what he said as it's only true with cheap, no name adapters. Any quality adapters, like they one you have will at the very least give the same picture quality as using composite cables, but with consoles like the PS2 and GameCube that support component, you'll see a slight improvement in picture quality as it's using the consoles component signal which is way better then composite.

My GC has digital output

[Supergodman12]

How does component compare to HDMI?

[llorando]

Digital output as in your GameCube has a digital A/V out port? Not all GameCube's have the digital A/V out port, nice if your game cube has it. Picture quality from component is almost as good as HDMI, but doesn't support 1080p like HDMI does, tho it does support 720p and 1080i. Component not supporting 1080p isn't an issue for older consoles like the PS2 and GameCube since they don't support 1080p.

[Supergodman12]

They don't even support 720p

[llorando]

Correct, GameCube only supports 480p and 480i while the PS2 supports, 480p, 480i and 1080i. FYI, very few games on the PS2 supports 1080i.

[Supergodman12]

Wow it says 1080p on my ps2 lol

[Supergodman12]

So PS2 can't support 1080p?

[llorando]

Nope, a PS2 can't support 1080p, it can support 1080i which is different then 1080p.

[llorando]

Where in you're PS2 does it say 1080p?

[Supergodman12]

Says on my HDtv box up top

[Supergodman12]

Some guy wants me to buy a 4k OLED TV and says it has better color then my RCA HDtv

[llorando]

My only guess is the HDMI adapter your using, is outputting a 1080p signal. That guy isn't entirely true, if your watching a program from a streaming service that supports 4k, then yes a 4K TV would have better color then your RCA TV, but if it's just your console or a 1080p (or lower resolution) there won't be a difference in color. With 4k content, the color difference isn't that noticeable in my opinion.

[Supergodman12]

He was like people have oleds but I've seen plenty of people with LCDs and CRTS on Facebook

[Supergodman12]

Also he said OLED is superior to LCD or LED

[llorando]

Yes people do have OLEDS, but they are a small amount compared to the people with LCD's and CRTS. OLED is superior to LCD (LED is an LCD) in terms of picture quality, but in terms of reliability, LCD is superior as modern LCD TV's don't suffer from image burn/retention like OLED does.

[Supergodman12]

Mine hasn't had any problems so far

[Supergodman12]

But my RCA LCD has very good picture quality

[llorando]

Yes, most LCD TV's will give a good picture. Really, the picture quality on most TV's are limited to the quality of the source material, quality source material and your going to get good picture quality. On my old TV, HD cable looked worse than DVD. Even my PS2 looked way better than HD cable because like DVD, it's a better quality source material. I'll take a mid range TV with high quality video source over a high end TV with low quality video source any day. Don't listen to others and enjoy your RCA TV. I had tell me I needed to buy an expensive TV to get good picture quality, turn's my mid range TV with DirecTV Stream has better picture quality than their expensive TV with cable.

[Supergodman12]

I know man the guy called Mike said my RCA is old and tiny and that I need to buy a 80 or 90 inch tv

[llorando]

I wouldn't listen to him, a 32" TV is plenty big.

[Supergodman12]

He said old like it's ancient or something

[Supergodman12]

" Well yeah, we all had CRT TVs back in the 90s.

Times move on, but if you're happy with mediocre, then keep what you have." He also said that

[llorando]

Nothing mediocre about your RCA TV. Lots of people are still using 10+ year old TV's.

[Supergodman12]

The guy sounds stupid

[Supergodman12]

He said this "But its still shit compared to a OLED 4K or 8K." When he said he played halo on a CRT then I said I played halo on my HDtv LCD and he said this

[llorando]

He's wrong, 720p TV is still good, and in my opinion is better than a 4k TV for DVDs and older consoles.

[Supergodman12]

Yes does he not realize that a 720p HDtv is far different than say a CRT

[llorando]

Apparently he doesn't.

[Supergodman12]

Yes he says to get a 80 inch or 90 inch tv lol

[Supergodman12]

"720p? How old is it? I just bought a 4K OLED for about $1200. I connected it to my existing amp and speakers. No subwoofer but I don't watch action movies. You can get a new 65" 4K LCD for about the cost of a sound bar." Some guy told me this on a recent question of mine lol what you think?

[llorando]

He's being ridiculous, there is no need to spend $1200 on a TV or by a 80 or 90 inch TV. First 720p TV was introduced in 1998 while first 1080p TV were introduced in the late 2000s. What's interesting is that 1080im, was introduced all the way back in the 1960s in Japan, but it was mostly experimental.

[strateguy632]

I do

[Supergodman12]

Why?
