   S-Video seems okay on my PS2, so it's probably okay on other systems.   
      
   The Genesis/Sega CD, which is composite, looks bad, though.  Aside from some   
   expected blurring, I'm getting rainbow colors on white text (such as the   
   text at the upper right and bottom on the intro Sega CD screen), on diagonal   
   lines and on the leftmost and rightmost lines of pixels.  I don't think this   
   changed from when I didn't have the HDTV, but I'm just used to better   
   video now.   
      
   I also have a Turbografx.  Oddly enough, the rainbow effect is barely there   
   (which is fortunate, since not even SCART is available for the Turbografx).   
   I don't see much of it on the screenshots on that website you mentioned   
   either--it seems like just the Genesis is doing it.
