I've got an itch lately to run out and buy a new TV, and I've pretty much got my sights set on one of the new smart Samsung LED televisions. However, unlike my current Samsung DLP, which has quite a few inputs (2 s-video, 2 a/v, 2 composite, 3 hdmi) it seems that the newer lines have all but done away with s-video, which is a pretty big deal considering how many classic-gen gaming systems I currently have plugged in. Most of the ones I was looking at this evening had 3 hdmi, and a single a/v input which was shared with the component input. My question is, is there a work-around to this?
I've read about how you can input everything into a receiver, and it will upscale the signal, sending it back to the tv through the HDMI cable, however most of the newer receivers seem to have cut out s-video as well. If you were to input say, an SNES using just A/V cables, would the upscale coming from the receiver make that much of a difference, or would it still be sub-par compared to the s-video signal?
Basically I would really appreciate it if someone could explain it all to me a little better, or perhaps give me another solution.
