What Video Connections Do You Use Most?

By the numbers, composite. I prefer to use component or svid wherever I can, but the majority of the consoles I own do not support either (out of the box...I still need to mod my Genny 2 for svid someday).

These poll results make me sad...

I'm using Component/RGB the most at the moment for ps2 and the wii.
Only other system currently in use is the dreamcast and I use a VGA box for that.

S-Vid on PS1, DC, PS2, XBox, SNES

Composite on older stuff like NES, Genesis, SMS, Sega CD and Saturn (I know it supports S-Vid, but I don't have the cable)

Composite:
Genesis/SCD/32X
NES

S-Vid:
Saturn
3DO

Component:
PS2
Xbox
Wii

HDMI:
Xbox 360

VGA:
Dreamcast

I guess component is my often used cable now. All my other consoles aren't hooked up... not enough inputs on my receiver and no real necessity for them as I don't play them as much.

How about audio connections? RF, RCA, HDMI 1.0/2.0 or optical?

I know I use optical on my 360, Xbox, PS2 and the rest all RCA.

Xbox 360: HDMI
Game Cube: component
PS2: component
SNES: S-video
Saturn: composite (though I usually use S-video)
NES: composite

I chose component because I use this the most, as I use my DVD player's component out as well. I want HDMI on my NES!

As for audio, all RCA with the exception of the 360 via HDMI.

S-video and composite... until we get our new TV in September. I just ordered Wii component cables when they were Amazon deal of the day for $15 last week. It should be interesting to see how some of my older consoles look on a HD set.

Systems hooked up right now. Composite barely wins out.

Component : PS2, XBOX360, Wii,

Composite : Genesis/32X/CD, SNES, Turbo Duo, Famicom,

S-Video : Sega Saturn, Dreamcast

RF : SMS, SG-1000, SG-3000

I voted RCA/Composite cause I think that's the one RF Adapters fall under.

technically they fall under it.

But at the same time the word composite covers: RF, RCA, component, and S-vid.

But more specifically people tend to agree composite to be the RCA (red white and yellow) connection.
