Long VGA vs Long Scart

I am looking to connect my computer to my TV using a VGA - RGB scart
converter. There is around 10m between the two items. Assuming you are using
the approx same value of cable (~£30/£40) which is it better to go for.

1. Computer - VGA/RGB Box - Long Scart Cable - TV
2. Computer - Long VGA cable - VGA/RGB Box - TV

In theory, it matters little. The signals are very similar. Obviously=20
cable quality (by which I mean design and construction, not price, brand =

and looks!) will make a difference, and you may find better value for=20
money on one type over the other due to higher demand. If that is the=20
case, I guess long SCARTs would win.

Another consideration is the output circuitry in your computer versus=20
that in the box. Driving long cables (high capacitive load) is harder,=20
and taxes "weak" circuitry. Both of those variables are unknown to me,=20
so I can't advise...

What VGA-RGB converter box are you going to use?

I have since found out its VGA - Component Video (Avermedia QuickPlay)

I am guessing you get better quality RCA/m than VGA cables. My 20m fairly
decent VGA cable cost £30. I would have thought 20m of decent 3 channel RCA
would be cheaper.
