is there any advantage disadvantage to sending laptop to component video or s-video?
VGA and component are basically the same but with different connectors, you shouldn't see any difference. S-Video is worse as it converts the three components into two, so you lose bandwidth in the chrominance, also if your source is RGB there will be quality loss in the conversion to YUV. Composite is worst of all as it has to create an analogue multiplex of all the signals to send down one wire.

Want to plug newer laptop into my older TV.
Laptop has HDMI output and TV has SCART, VGA, Component, Composite, S-Vd inputs.
What's the best adapter to use? I was just going to get a HDMI-VGA one but is there any advantage disadvantage to sending laptop to component video or s-video?
