What is the Difference in Vport and S-Video? is there a difference at all?
this is for the RCA TVs made for XBOX.
V-port is just a component connection with a proprietary connector. You're better off just getting a TV with component inputs.
And yes, it's better than S-video.

Vport is better then S-video but not worth the 30bucks it cost to buy the cable itself?

I might get that TV and try it out. I need an 8th TV for my bedroom anyway. I don't have a job to buy that TV so I'll ask my parents.;)

the v-port cable is a glorified component cable. I read ,and i cant remember where, that the vport can connect your xbox directly or it could be used as an additional component input for other digital sources (with an adapter i assume)
just get a toshiba or samsung with component inputs and get a better overall quality tv for a reasonable price :)

you couldn't find one for that price. If your on a budget, then i think its a pretty good deal cause it sure as hell is better than my TV..heheh.... But if you can spend up to about $500 or so, i would get a toshiba or samsung, but thats my personal opinion. :)

I got the RCA, and yes the V-Port is basically a component conection (Only $20 at Best Buy) It is a nice set for the price. I have had no complaints with this set at all, nice crisp picture, good options, etc...
Good Luck in your search.

I'll probably stick to AV for now. I know it seems a little dated but the quality is just fine for me.;)

Well, once you experience S-Video or Component you will NEVER want to go back. I was so amazed at the difference between composite (old yellow RCA type plug) and S-Video of a old television...then when I got my new Vega I could not beleive the crazy difference between S-Video and Component...Its especially worth it if you watch DVDs...

I have finally watched a few DVD's on my Playstation 2, hooked up to the same TV as Xbox, the quality was pretty good to me. It's just that my TV doesn't have S-Video input. I'll admit the I can't go back to the RF-Adapter again.
