I have have this projector for 2 year now . I be use the s-video input -lrb- with a 25 foot Acoustic Research cable -rrb- for dvd , playstation 2 , and digital cable television . I be always happy with the picture but whites be always fuzzy - you could see static on the screen -lrb- in my case a white wall -rrb- . it take some research to find out that svga be the same as component video . so I experiment with a long component video to VGA cable -lrb- 35 ft. -rrb- . in order for this work with cable , I have to upgrade to a hdtv box because they be the only one cox Cable have with component video output -lrb- and hdmus of course -rrb- . WOW ... not only be the picture quality for regular cable increase - the ep719 take the 1080i hdtv signal through this cable no problem -lrb- even recognize it on screen as hdtv in the lower right corner -rrb- . hdtv be so awesome on this projector . huge crystal clear hdtv quality resolution . dvd be also much clearer too . that white fuzziness be completely eradicate . I want to experiment with the hdmus to dvd-d conversion as I imagine the picture will be even better . but in order run everything -lrb- cable , ps2 , dvd -rrb- through my stereo receiver with one cable to the projector I have to stick to one cable type - component video be it . there be absolutely no need to buy a expensive plasma or lcd when for a fraction of the cost you can get the same high-re picture quality with a screen six time the size . no problem either . get yourself a component video to VGA cable -lrb- dirt cheap on ebay -rrb- . or if you have a new receiver that have hdmus input , you can use all hdmus cable and then connect one hdmus cable with a hdmi-dvi-d converter and get the max out of you projector . although , I have read that long run of hdmus lose quality over 10 ft. whereas with component video you be ok up to 50 foot with no signal loss .
