Question:
is it possible to connect the component video output of a dvd player to the SCART input of a tv to give a superior quality picture than s-video?
I don't know of any TVs that accept component video (there may a few top-end models).
Its more usual for projectors to accept component video.
Doesn't your DVD output RGB (similar performance to component).
I haven't bought it yet, I don't think it has a SCART.

Just the question I wanted to ask.
I think you get get Component > Scart leads.
Is Component the same quality as RGB and has it got a different output to RGB from the player?

Component is different to RGB. You can't connect a DVD player with component output to a Tv with a RGB scart using a component to scart leads. There needs to be some kind of active electronics to convert the component signal to a compatible RGB signal. I don't know of any convertors on sale that will do this. There seems to be many convertors/syncblaster scarts/ adaptors available to go from RGB scart to component (i.e from dvd/digbox to plasmas & projectors) on sale at keene, lektropacks and rgbtosvideo so maybe if you have a look there they might have something.
They are different outputs but I doubt you'll see much difference on a TV screen unless it accepts progressive scan. RGB is about the best you'll get on a TV.
PAL Progressive component output is available on very few high end DVD players (Arcam DV88P/88+ and FMJ DV27). It makes a huge difference when using plasma or projectors.
Quite a few of the Tosh Tvs have component input.
I've got my Tosh SD150 DVD player connected to my tosh 42" RPTV using component because that frees up the single RGB enabled scart for use with my Sky digibox. Saves me from using switchers etc. Only trouble with Component is you have to select the input every time (or use a macro type remote control) as there is no switching signal sent. Using RGB and scart at least auto switches the TV to the correct input.

[/B] Can't see the end result though being any better then S-video, RGB and component are just too different. RGB as the name implies splits the picture into red, green and blue, while component splits it up as luma plus two chroma.
Component signal is the NTSC version of RGB in which case if you are watching an NTSC source then component is best. RGB is best for PAL. The two are not exchangeable
