Does the quality of my Scart cables matter?
Cable quality can influence sound and picture quality on LCD and plasma TVs. Poor-quality Scart cables are more prone to interference from other devices and atmospherics. But you don’t have to pay the earth – a tenner should do, rather than opting for the cheapest at three or four quid. A good rule of thumb – the thicker the cable the better. This usually means it boasts more ‘screening’ from interference. Also look for gold-plated connectors. Occasionally plug and unplug the cables in your LCD or plasma TV. This helps to remove the build-up of oxides, which affect how well signals are transmitted.
