Projector resolution between inputs

I have an Optoma ES526 projector that connects VGA, I want to use component cables on it, but this uses proprietary VGA/Component adapter... and this thing costs around $70. The projector already has an old school S-video connector on it and I could probably buy one of these cables for cheaper...

Any thoughts on the resolution difference between a VGA/component versus S-video connection??

Only thing worse than S-video is composite video. Yes, the VGA/component will be significantly better than S.

That's what I figured. Just bought a new projector - made more sense to me than a $70 dongle... lol. Thanks for the reply!

Universal consolidator. Whistle erupts from TV when channel changed

L

LKV1 on Jan 20, 2017

I have an old Sanyo analog tv. Model=AVM-2555; Chassis=G3M-25552; Serial number=V609 040 630 4143. I have an Channel Master exterior antenna connected with coaxial cable to a Digital to Analog Converter Box [Zinwell Model ZAT-970A]. The remote units are not working very well so I use a Phillips Universal Consolidator to operate the TV and the Analog Converter Box. A few days ago I pressed a button on the Phillips Universal Consolidator and since then every time I change the TV station a loud whistle emanates from the TV speaker. The whistle continues until the station is "tuned in". I have used the Universal Consolidator menu button to try to resolve this issue. The whistle continues to occur when the channel is changed. I have reset the Universal Consolidator by removing the batteries and pressing the buttons to remove all codes in the Universal Consolidator. Then I went through the Universal Consolidator setup procedure. This did not resolve the problem. Do you have any suggestions?Read More
