    IT will be better if your tv has a dvd upscaler built in,or you are using a dvd player with upscaling facility,ie chip that doubles the Resolution/picture detail ,increases no of pixels in each frame.You,ll have to read tv reviews or tv manual to find out.IF your dvd HAS hdmi it probably has an upscaling function in built.ON scart connect to AV1,rgb ,av1 usually fully wired for better picture quality.HDMI cable only 30euros,in peats, no harm in buying one ,if you have a hd tv.I get much better picture when using my pc to tv ,on hdmi cable.Make sure you have hdmi interface on the dvd player first.IT ,will probably be better on a standard dvdplayer,cos the average scart lead may not be fully wired for rgb.AV2 ,3,scart sockets may not be fully wired on tv for rgb.MY tv has av1,av2, AV1 LABELLED RGB,fully wired for best quality picture.
