True, except of course if your using a RGB SCART cable from your DVD player
in which case the DVD player is sending actual RGB data to the TV. I don't
know how popular SCART (EuroConnectors) are outside the UK, I know that I've
never seen an American deck with one (they seem to favor RCA and S-Video)

Even Using a simple S-Video connection would improve things over a composite
 since at least the brightness and colour signal as kept seperate.
