'WELL BUILT AND SHIELDED CABLE - REDUCED NOISE' |
|
| Strengths: |
A real monster of a cable compared to the standard SCART provided in the box with most AV equipment. Well built and well shielded for RFI.
The cable has reduced noise on the screen which has sharpened picture slightly. |
| Weaknesses: |
Cable is very thick making it heavy and inflexible which may cause routing problems. The cable weight also makes fit into some scart sockets difficult as the cable can pull itself out on it's own weight unless supported. Unfortunately this is no fault of QED a lot of AV equipment just isn't epected to be connected by this sort of monster cable, you may need a cable tie or clip to assist the flimsy plasic SCART socket in the back of your TV. |
| Overall: |
I bought this with a QED TTV to solve RFI problems on a Humax PVR, together they have done this. There has been a small improvement in picture but not one that I can justify the cost against at present, this may be because they are attached to a CRT screen.
It is a well constructed cable and well shielded. As noted by other reviewers this makes it more difficult to route than a cheap cable due to it's weight and thickness and some scart sockets struggle to hold it's weight without assistance. On the plus side it's shielding makes routing less critical, I don't mind that has to use the same route as some power cables because they don't seem to effect it as they would a standard cable.
I short I would recomend it but would caution buyers to make sure there are no other factors in their set-up effecting signal. |
