Ok as you well know i just brought a new sony wega,but when i hooked my ps2 up to it,it looked like the colours were always moving,and it was pissing me off,because it made the picture look ****,so i was looking in my brothers room,and found my old ps1 offical scart,so i thought what the heck lets give it ago,so i connected it all up,and when i switched it on,i could not believe the quality of the picture,it is the best picture i have seen,and all the colours were not moveing,i really could not believe my eyes,it was heaven.
So if you can get one or have the offical scart from your ps1 then use it without a doubt,i really could not believe it,so i am going back through all my other games to see the difference.
Let me know if anyone else notices a real difference,in the quality.
-
yea ive noticed it, but havnt tried my old scart, cos it went with my ps1. the tv im using now (as mine broke) doesnt take scart, but i find the areil lead does a better pic
-
interesting... then the tv cables were low quality or what? They would be of Sony too...
-
adan hes talking about the ones with the ps2. sort of like a scart but much worse
-
When I use the cables that came with the PS2.
The colour are very poor..
It seems like you have a gray-ish, "net" over the picture.. (hard to explane)
But the picture seems darker. (grayish)
I use my RGB cable when I play :)
The RGB cable is superior!
-
ah ok. Anyway I can´t reach a well quality graphics cause my tv iv very old... I need a new one at this moment!
-
I use S-Video. When you say scart, do you mean "component" or Audio(L)-Audio(R)-Video RCA jacks?
-
yeah the scart that came wit the machine is basically for the dvd feature and not the games feature thats when ur old rgb scart comes in handy !!
-
Isnt RGB the older type of cord you plug into the ariel?
Correct me if I\'m wrong. It\'s just you guys seem to say it\'s better than the newer type plug you get with the PS2
-
In terms of quality:
Component
SCART/RGB
S-video
Composite

I have said this before ethan, if you remember my posts about \'Dotcrawl\' well this is what your\'e experiencing with
the crappy composite lead that sony gave with the PS2. I brought a proper RGB scart lead immediatley and have
never looked back. Expecially now i have done the DVD RGB mod :D
-
Whats the best cord to have for me? Sorry, I dont know much about this stuff.
I have a 21 inch Sony TV. It\'s got 1 plug for the picture and 1 plug for sound (yes it\'s only mono) But I use my stereo for sound anyway so I only use the picture plug in my TV.
So whats the best plug I can use? I\'m currently using the one out of the box
-
Depends on what the TV can take. Does it have SCART or S-video? If so, use that (in that order). It\'s much better than the composite leads that comes with your PS2.

The cables that come with it are all you can really use. You could waste a little moeny and buy the same Composite cables, but Monster Cable Brand, but the difference will be a waste of money.
-
Right now I have a 19" TV. The cables I use that came with the PS2 seem to work OK. But...it still looks a little iffy. I\'m gonna get a 40" and I\'m buying monster cables just for that reason. I wouldn\'t recommend using the ones it came with anyways...unless you ran out of money buying a PS2...;)
-
I believe the cable that give the quality from best to worse in this order.
1) VGA cable
2) Scart/RGB
3)Component
4)s-video
5) composite
6) coaxial (die with the 16 bits era, worst cable)
i could be wrong in the order.

Thanks Videoholic :D

Shut your mouth :D Just cause I have to use the cheesy cords that come with it. The gameplay is still the same so thats all that matters

Easy tigers,i only posted this thread to let you know what i found,not to start World War 3!
Ok at lunch time i decided to try out some more games with my new connection,so i tryed Star Wars Starfighter,so i tryed it with the old connection,and it didnt look to bad,but when i tryed it with the new connection,OH MY GOD!,the textures came to life,i really could not believe it,the rock textures,really did look like rock,there is no way i am ever going back to the old connection,i am going to try the MGS2 demo out after work,and also Z.O.E i really carnt wait,i mean they looked great on the old connection,i carnt image what they will look like on the new connection,now all i have to do is wait until 5:30 and it is only 2:30 : (
Anyway just thought i would let you know,see ya later people.

The actual list is like follows, going from best to worse.
1) VGA (PC Monitor), Scart (European), Component (American).
2) S-Video, slightly less quality than the above.
3) Composite / Composite running through Scart.
4) RF Aerial / Coaxial.

For some reason, I have a feeling VGA cable perform better than Component. Like a difference between composite and s-video. That much difference. VGA is like s-video cable while component is like composite. Anyway, 1080i is good enough for component while VGA cable can go higher than 1200+ lines progressively (non-interlaced).
-
can someone plese post a pic of the ends of s-video so that i can see if my tv can take them. :D
-
If your TV can take them it should have a plug hole at the back with S-Video or Scart written above or below.
I dont have a pic but I think it\'s 1 plug and in th plug it\'s got about 5 little prongs (whatever they are called) inside it.
Or you could also check your manuel
-
Ok I don\'t have a picture off top of my head but I do know that most import PSX shops sells SVideo cables and have pics.
Anyway it consists of 3 wires, one for picture, two for audio. The audio are your standard left / right phono plugs (looks the same as the cables with the PS2).
The Video bit (SVideo) is a bigger plug known as a Dimm. Its circular, has 4 points and a plastic square to keep it in the socket. Reminds me of the old AT Keyboard connectors.
