Yeah, if you're going the scaling route s-video is infinitely better than composite, not just because of the difference in picture quality (as Duo-R described well) but because scalers with good comb filters, which are needed to separate the Chroma and Luma video signals, aren't as common as one would think. In fact, it's not uncommon for HD TV sets to have better comb filter than some (well known) video processors.

Since s-video keeps those signals separate, there's no need to really worry about the quality of the combfilter and that makes it easier finding a good scaler.

You mention your TV does not have an S-video input, does it have scart inputs instead?

It does not, just HDMI/Composite/component and a few random inputs like internet, optical stero,etc
No S-Video or scart inputs :(

You should invest in a CRT TV someday if you can. PC-FX games aren't going to look that great on an LCD TV no matter how the system is hooked up.

Yes, just customize to show stores that send to CA.  and it is very reliable.  I have not heard a complaint about them yet.

the website is kinda a middleman so each seller/store is diffrent.  Most send EMS.

note: most of the PC-FX stuff looks like it's from suruga-ya.  Down side is no pictures or details will be availbale about it.  The upside is most of the time what they do send is in pretty good condtion, even if disc only ect.

I've been checking the site out myself, but most of the listing have NO descriptions at all. So its basically a crap shoot whether you get a complete copy of something or disc only? Seems rather stupid if so...

You want to use S Video.   

If you go to facebook and find the PC-FX tome of obey page, you can see some pictures I took of my actual TV with SVideo.
