PS2 Scart?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

KH2 supported 1080i

KH2 ? Kingdom Hearts 2 you mean ? And btw, is it cleared stated on the box that the game support 1080i ( like the 360 or the PS3) ?

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?

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.

This is assuming you use a SDTV,on HDTV PS2 looks kinda like crap.

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!

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.
