component is better. most electronics manufactures support up to 1080i over component even though it can handle more.
composite is a lower grade connection limited to 480i.

That depends on what you're going to be displaying on the TV.
Analog sources like standard(non-digital) cable, or VHS, or playback from a camcorder have low resolutions to begin with, and won;t really benefit from being displayed at the higher resolutions that Component video cables are capable of transmitting. Newer sources like DVD players, Digital Cable or Satellite, and Most newer game consoles are capable of HDTV, or at the very least, progressive scan EDTV. These would benefit the most from being connected via Component video cables.
I usually find that using your best available connections will give you the best result, and as far as picture quality goes, component video cables are a lot better than composite a/v cables.

Component cables are newer than composite cables. Component cables are normally used for HDTV's and newer electronics such as the PS3, XBOX 360, Bluray and HDDVD players. Component cables have 3 video cables (blue, green & red) & 2 audio cables. Composite cables just have 1 video cable (yellow) and 2 audio cables. Composite is a lot better, they are able to support up to 1080p resulution and can be used with progressive scan DVD players.

Several years ago Home Theater magazine took a "Reference" 50" television, hooked up all 3 cable types to a DVD player and brought in reviewers to try and rate the improvement. There results were:
Composite - baseline quality
SVideo - 20% improvement over Composite
Component - 25% improvement over Composite
They also noted that the differences were GREATER for larger screen sizes and the differences were less noticeable for smaller screens.
For my standard-def television, I made everything use SVideo because it offered the best bang for the buck.

Component cables carry the Red, Green, Blue and stereo audio signals seperatley. Composite combiness the signals into one cable then your screen needs to separate it to display the picture. This causes signal degredation. Component is also capable of carrying a high definition signal where as composite can't.
The screen you are plugging it into has to support RGB. Some screens only support RGB in AV1. So it is only worth while if you are connecting a compatible AV input. You should see a sharper picture and more vibrant colour even in standard definition.

Radio Shack likely has what you opt for, or you may make it up out of previous cables. (they are noted as "RCA plugs or cables") RS used to have (and prob. nonetheless does) the cable ends you opt for to plug into the HT gadget. Solder a piece of speaker cord to the cable end, and strip the different ends, and voila. Or decrease one end off a cable and strip the wires. be conscious: you'll likely discover them layered as a effect: outer insulation, small cord filaments, inner insulation, small cord filaments. utilizing this technique, strip back the outer insulation a pair inches; pull the first layer of cord filaments far flung from the interior insulation, and twist them at the same time like ultimate the twist-tie on a bag of bread; strip the interior insulation about 1/2 so some distance as you probably did the outer; twist the interior crew of wires at the same time. for the time of installation, do not enable both units of cord contact one yet another; it received't reason damage, yet you received't listen something both.

Sorry my mistake...
Component video cable is better than composite video.

Component is the best resolution.
