HD Component AV Cable For Sony Playstation PS2 PS3

Works fine, alot better than RGB composite. Had some troubleshooting to do to get working but that was on the TVs part. Unplugging TV from power for a few mins resolved issue.

I was a bit skeptical of these cables at first considering their cheap price, but I thought there was no harm in giving them a try. I wasn't ready for such a massive jump in picture quality though.Component video is a complete game changer for any retro console that supports it, even at an interlaced resolution there's such an increase in picture clarity.I've attached two images of Rayman 3, one of only a few PAL games that supports 480p. On the right is composite at 480i, on the left is component at 480p. Not only can you clearly see every pixel, but the clarity of background detail is much improved. Be warned that this cable will reveal imperfections in all of your favourite games!Cannot recommend this cable enough, amazing quality for the price.

Using these are a better way to connect your old ps2 to a HDTV than using a hdmi converter as I have found them to be unreliable and and looks quite darker but using a component cable you can definitely see a improvement than composite with a much clearer image but don't expect the quality of HD and remember to keep your original cable to change the ps2 output settings before connecting these as it does not do this automatically.

Recently setup my fat PS2 with Free McBoot and wanted to get the best out of it with my Samsung 32" Smart TV.I was originally going to get a HDMI compatible cable but sprung for this instead after seeing a few comparison videos on Youtube which showed that a Component cable was a lot brighter.The cable fits pretty snug into the back of the PS2 and the picture quality is fantastic and has cleared up the visuals for all the games I've tested this with.I've seen a few reviews advising of Audio issues with this cable but after two weeks of use I haven't noticed any changes.For the price of admission it's a pretty good purchase.Also, before installing be sure to set your PS2 to output video in the correct format before using or else you'll just get a black screen!

Bought this alongside a converter with the hope of recording PS2 gameplay. Neither worked and gave me nothing but a headache .... waste of time !

This is great, it allows me to use my Playstation 2 with my latest LG Smart TV BUT, and this is something which is not explained IN ANY youtube video or guidance I have watched or read online, you will have to access the system menu in the settings within the Playstation and toggle to the appropriate setting or the TV will register that there is no Component signal (you may hear the sound of the menu screen or the game playing through the TV but you will have no picture).In order to be able to do this you may use the older AV cable, red plug to red receiver, white plug to white receiver and then the yellow plug to the green receiver, this will allow your TV to receive a signal from the Playstation, you will be able to access the setting menu provided you have not put a disc into the Playstation and it is just operating "empty". The setting you want to highlight is the one other than RGB (it is a string of letters). Having done this, you can then hook up this HD Component AV Cable, the colours of each of the plugs correspond to each of the receivers on the TV set and it is good to go.There is some debate about the difference between HD Component AV Cable and PS2 to HDMI Converters. I have both, I am going to comment in a bit more detail on this after I have played more games and been able to assess properly each means of upgrading the PS2 picture for improved TV audio-visuals. What I would say is that so far I think that both the HD Component AV Cable and PS2 to HDMI Converter are better pictures that the previous AV cable attachment which I used to toggle to the other setting (I played a single game which was dark anyway but the picture was awful, really adversely effected play).Neither are necessary to make the PS2 signal be received by the TV and part of my confusion was a consequence of having used a SCART attachment with the AV cable in my previous TV and initially not being aware, when the SCART attachment is removed, which plugs would attach to which colour corresponding receivers (yellow to green). The picture is not great though and I would only recommend using this to toggle the settings and use either HD Component AV Cable or PS2 to HDMI.Thus far my preference is for the HD Component AV Cable but I'm going to update in time. I hope this is helpful, as I tried hard discover this information online and eventually only found it in a video which was listed as comic, I suspect because of issues with it quality.

Before I talk about the picture quality I have to talke about set up issues.So when I plugged it in i got no picture and crackly sound.My TV knew there was something plugged into the component sockets but told me there’s was no signal.I did quick search through the questions and answers section and the common suggestion (not solution) was you need to change the PS2 settings. You do need to do this however it doesn’t determine whether you get a picture or not.In one of the answers someone’s suggested the cables were incorrectly coloured, so I tried mixing the colours up.To get the cables to work correctly I had to swap green and blue and then try both red cables in the slot below the green and blue slots. And thankfully it worked.So now that it works I can see the picture is a BIG upgrade from the RGB (RWY) cables, games even seem to play smoother so this really improves the retro experience.If it wasn’t for incorrectly coloured cables it’d get 5 stars.

These component cables improve the picture quality of the PS2 compared to composite cables ( which made the picture really blurry ) especially on a HD TV. Well pleased with these.
