I had a modded PS2 for quite long and although I recently bought a PS3, I still play a lot with it. However, in my new LCD Philips PFL5403s the picture look horrible, much worse than my previous CRT. So, I searched here and there and found out that the solution is to get a PS2 component cable, which I just did yesterday. But when I connect it there is almost no picture at all. There are some glimpses of the game display for fraction of a second but it ends up with the TV saying to signal at all. It tries to show 480i signal, which shows in the TV display, but fails to do so. I've checked by LCD manual where it says that it's capable of showing 480i in both HD and SD signal. I really dont know what to do with it anymore. I would really appreciate if soeone could shed some light into my problem.

P.S. I know that the cable is fine cause I've tested it with the PS3.

You have to set your PS2 to output Component to get proper display if it's already set to RGB.

just set at the settings to output to component if not no display at all,imo even with component the picture is horrible better just play on CRT FTW

How do we set that gundam? Maybe I should try my ps3 component cable on my ps2. Never tried that before.

What you do is use composite cables with the HDTV,and go to the PS2 Main Menu(boot it without a disc,go into options mode)
Then set component settings to RGB.

Now go back to component cables,and you are ready to rock.

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

PS2 needs CRT for optimum graphics but i haven test using component on CRT with component input any comments bro gundam?

You should play with component if you have a component ready CRT

yup, games like MGS2,3, GT4 and not to forgot a little game called GOD OF WAR 1 and 2 look godly

the best game to be played on composite cables,as far as i know(and played) is RE4.

the game looks amazing even on a HDTV with composite cables

Looks like have to sneak in my grandparents hall and try as the tv is not mine hehehe

all console versions of re4 has progressive scan mode and u are saying it looks best with composite?!? pls tell me you are joking....

anyways has anyone tried PSOne with components on a good CRT tv?

PSOne/PS1 do not support component output, RGB is the best for them

games such as Resident Evil 3 shows artifacts on Component and none using composite when used on HDTV.

i dunno why, and i dun want to bother..

PS1 dont support progressive la bro,can only use composite only.

Not quite true.. lots of PS1 games run on 240p But of course most displays out there only display as 480i

Oh and you can transfer 240p/480i through component no problem at all, just need the supported output which only happen at the beginning of the PS2/XBox/GC era. I'm looking to mod my Neo Geo to output component, can't find the right video encoder
