It's better than RF and standard AV cables, so yes, the clarity will look noticeably better.

I bought an S-Video cable for my SNES on this site, but for some reason there's a purplish area on the top right corner of the screen, but other than that - it's decent.

It will work on the original SNES model, but the model 2 (the small one) doesn't output s-vid.

You can still get Nintendo-made S-video cables in Japan or on import web sites if you want the real McCoy~

if there is a purplish area there is probably interference. make sure your cables arent running close to a power supply or anything of that like.
