Would connecting a component video into s-video downgrade my wii signal?

Question

Basically what I want to do is take my wii component cables, and plug it into my k-world 1680ex (VGA Box), it does 1080p and whatnot. Unfortunately the highest signal it takes is s-video, so i'll end up plugging in the component cables into the s-video slots with the little converter wires that are provided. From the box it'll be straight vga to my 22" Samsung 226cw. Will using component to s-video downgrade the signal? Would going out and buying an xcm component 1080p box be better, or would it provide the same quality since the k-world box does 1080p as well? (right now i'm using the composite cables and the picture is somewhat fuzzy) All answers/suggestions are appreciated!

Answer 1

It will be fine. If you were talking 42" or bigger it might be different.

Answer 2

In every signal path, the output is downgraded to the lowest signal. In this case s-video. S-video can only carry standard def. video, so your output can't be better than SD.

Instead of spending money on converters, buy a monitor or TV that accepts component input directly from your Wii.

By the way, at 22" 1080p is irrelevant!!
