Gold plated contacts mean you get slightly reduced terminal resistance, but nothing that can be detected by humans looking at a TV screen. They are a good way of convincing the technically inept to part with their money.

Gold is NOT a better conductor than silver. Silver is absolutely a better conductor...but silver will tarnish. Gold will not.
Oxygen-free silver is the BEST...but VERY expensive.
Gold is the myth of audio and video..silver is the way to go!

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, I JUST BOUGHT A HDR TELLY, AND BOUGHT THE GOLD SCART FOR IT, THE PICTURE IS VERY GOOD, BUT DONT KNOW IF THE SCART MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.
