antsy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I read that if I connect my PS2 to my TV using Component, or scart (rather than a scart with a composite adapter) I will get a "much" better picture, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not sure about which is better betweeen scart and composite, but component is far better. Some games supported 1080i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsy Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 On the PS2? I though scart splits the visuals into separate signals the same way component does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazuyette Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Here's the Order : component > scart > composite . I've never heard of any PS2 game supporting 1080i. I've only heard aboot some games supporting 480p or 576p, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antsy Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Huh Since when does the PS2 support Hi-def? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis187 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think the GOW2 1080i is only possible on the PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsy Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I didn't think the PS2 was nearly powerful nor had the ability to output HD, anyway apparently Scart doesn't support 480P like component but apparently supports 576i, but even so I should get a better picture?

Coldgunner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 576i is the PAL standard 576 lines interlaced at 25fps = PAL 480 lines interlaced at 30fps = NTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCKX Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If you change from the default PS2 scart/composite that had a few pins (1) to a full RGB scart (2) there's a huge improvement. 1. 2. This is assuming you use a SDTV,on HDTV PS2 looks kinda like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 so I'm guessing scart is a European standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsy Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I hope it is, I orderd one, Component would be hassle as I would have to do it through VGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsy Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I was in the attic getting my old VHS player for my lady friend and I remember my PSX was up there and that I used a scart lead for that, so I thought I would give that a try, and wow this is much better, just had a quick game of Mortal Combat Deception, to think so soon after getting a PS3 my PS2 can have a new lease of life, but apparently SCART does not support Progressive scan so I only get 480i and not 480P. Anyway I still have that new cable coming in the post, that was a waste of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You need the component cable for progressive scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsy Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Can I use a component to VGA cable for that as my TV monitor doesn't have component? Anyway as a video would have been helpful for me when I started this thread, I couldn't find one so now I have made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
