I've searched and crawled through forum posts regarding this topic and thought I'd post/bump the spirit of several past threads for myself and anyone going forward 2023. I'm looking for S-Video cables for my workflow.
In the past, Pearstone, BlueJeans, and I want to say more polarizing,
Monoprice (which I don't think they even sell regular s-video cables any longer), have been recommended, but I guess this has always been a polarizing topic-- cables. Do these old recommendations still live up? I yet again came across another useful
Saylyn post I thought was helpful in this idea that it comes down to mostly two groups of people regarding cables:
- Group A, thinking cables are mostly alike and that it doesn't matter
- Group B, that cables are not alike.
These days, doing a search for "recommended s-video cables" it's actually hard to find as most searches have been bogged up by the resurgence of retro gamers looking to output to s-video, but custom/not a typical s-video cable as they are for retro console use. Either way, you're probably going to get redirected to their posts. That being said, I figure most people will not need more/new s-video cables as they already plenty. I only had one suspicious one, so I'm actually going to buy one these options unless someone points better in my direction.
This is the option I was considering the most (none of these are affiliate links btw):
I cannot speak for any of these S-Video Options. People have pointed out that expensive doesn't always mean better (sometimes quite the opposite) I just thought I'd share results that I found for interest going into 2023 as far as s-video cables are concerned. I'm going to ignore the all obvious
Amazon search'd option unless it's a standout.
