I did a search for RGB* and figured I'd find something, but didn't. Anyway, which will give a better HD picture RGB or component cables.
Thanks,
Kurt

They are the same thing. This is borrowed from Chris Whites HT web sight....
Component Video - Not to be confused with Composite video. A video signal transmitted as at least three separate components using separate wires or cable. The most common formats are: RGB (separate signals for red, green, and blue), and analog component video (Y/Pb/Pr, luminance together with a signal based on blue and a signal based on red). Using simple circuits, RGB needed to display a picture can be easily derived from the latter. In order to get RGB using simple circuits, there must be at least three components supplied. (In algebra, if a problem has three "unknowns" there must be at least three equations or relationships supplied in order to solve it.) S-video has two components, luminance and color, but an elaborate circuit (using phase decoding and demodulation) is needed to disassemble the "color", or "C" signal into two other components. These together with the luminance make up the three components that simple circuits can in turn convert into RGB.

On my Pioneer Elite, the RGB connection looks like a monitor cable serial connection. Does this have better picture quality than the component?

That thing that looks like monitor connection is called a D-sub 15 input. It is used for connecting a computer to.
Your TV has the ability to be one big computer monitor as well as your home TV. The other inputs would be used to connect a Pro-Scan DVD player or HD STb, Cable box or video game with HD capability(X-Box) to.

I guess I could have made this easier if I posted all of my equipment first. Anyway,I've got the Sony HD200 and it has a switch on the back to select the disired HD output. Once side has a DVI connector and a D-sub 15 connector. The other position has the component outputs. This is what prompted my question.
My TV has 2 separate component inputs and a separate D-sub 15 input. I guess I really don't have to worry about any of this until I get an X-box and need another input.
