Hey, I just got an LG lafinion 70w 66cm widescreen tv for $1070 AUD, and i hooked my PS2 up with a component cable i had. Not sure where to get a better quality component cables from?, but the one i got cost $17, obviosly just a normal plain no branded one?. What i'm stooped about is this Yb pr br or whatevers, what the hell are they difference between those combinations, i've heard one is a digital component signal? how would i get dig video output to my tele to my PS2? i know its better but im bloody confused!!. Also, is there anyone else wit the same TV?, cause i just found out that all inputs regardless wether usin a Settopbox or analog there's a F**kin! ghost image effect on this tv DAMNIT!! arrgh. and heard its a problem can't be fixed?. Cheers
As for your PS2 issue if you got component cable ( red, green, blue, and red and white for audio) you should be in good shape, the PS2 doesn't really do 480p/1080i that well. The reason these cable will produce a better picture is because each color is split from one another unlike RCA and S-Vid. Also you might want to check here http://www.hdtvarcade.com/ps2list.htm for a list of games that support Progressive Scan which can help to get a better image quality. Most PS2 games that support Prog Scan you need to hold TRIANGLE and X while booting up the system with the game in the drive. Should ask you to switch resolutions. If not check through the in game options for Prog Scan ( such as in god of war). As for the ghosting that I cannot help you with. Sorry
Component Video inputs come in three basic flavors. The regular type is capable of SDTV resolution or 480i. The second type is capable of EDTV resolutions up to 480p. The last is capable of HDTV resolutions up to 720p and 1080i. In every case the cable is the same (75 OHM male-RCA). There is different labling for all three cases. Yet, all cases are passing an analog signal (not a digital one). ----Component Video 101---- There are several component video schemes. VGA, S-Video, DVI-A, and Component Video are all component video schemes. Only the latter conforms to todays standards of component video however. The compression method in a nut shell is: Y - Lumanence (Green) CB-Y - The Color Blue (Blue) CR-Y - The Color Red (Red) This is the exact same scheme used in MPEG-2 for DVD movies! For all intents and purposes all the different color space types (ie YUV, YPbPr, ect...) acheive the same things. They compress the RGB info into managable chunks so it can be easily transmitted/broadcast. WikiPedia (Component Video): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video --------------------------- There are no digital video outputs on the PS2 Try turning your contrast and/or brightness down.

Component cables are all the same, just depends on what HD formats your TV supports, 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. And the PS2, so far, only uses 480p on a handful of games and 180i on one game - GT4.
