Maybe it is your tv , I am using a new sony ,and I am telling the truth, and I am not BLIND EITHER. I have both home, cart ded. neo cabinet and have had the cd and I am telling you that on my tv and the set up I have there is no differnce in the mas vs. the home cart, NONE ( you can only use s-video only). It is so close to my rgb( granted the color on the rgb is a little better ). The systems you played may have a conflict with your tv brand or make. I had a 27" Mit. that when I played the home cart on the very top of the screen was wavy, it was strange. Also on the mas system you can change the gain color. I think the units you played had something wrong with them. I am very picky, I have gone from home cart to cd back to home to rgb, and so on. I always found my way back to the rgb, and I was skeptical about buying the nova( like I said I had one not bought from mas ) and the video sucked but I took a chance and bought one from MAS direct, it worked out great. You should do more research before you bash someones product and insult another..........NEONUT
