    A couple few months ago I picked myself up a Hitachi 57F710A 57" CRT Projection HDTV (happy birthday to me from me). While I was flipping through Socom3 options I ran across the setting where you can change it to high definition. It didn't work so I called Hitachi to see what was the deal. They told me I needed the hi-def PS2 cables. SO... I run out today and picked up some hi-def Monster Cables and hooked the PS2 back up. For some reason I am still in the same boat I was in to start with. It sets itself back to the original setting and says I need a HDTV. I have set here pulling out my hair looking at all the settings trying to figure out why this isn't working. I'm not sure if this is a television or PS2 question so if I put this in the wrong place I apologize.

    Thanx

    That looks like a normal cable to me, not component rgb. This one is just better quality and has an s-video cable. The one you should get looks like this:

    Like you see it has rgb cables for video, and two cables for audio.

    I have s-video in the cable but that one you posted looks like it has one extra cable output on it. The quality of the one I have is absolutely awesome. My picture quality went up at least 30-40%. I called BestBuy where I purchased it and they said the actual PS2 cable(which Sony told me I needed) was piss poor quality.

    So this is the one I will need and I should be set? http://www.psyclonecables.com/PYP23.html

    Thank you for your help with this matter, I really appreciate it.

    No, it doesn't. Red, green and blue on the left are for video, and red & white on the right are for audio.

    Yeah, that's the one. But make sure that you have a component input on your tv.

    What I meant by extra cable was the fact that the one you showed me had one extra cable than the one I already have.

    I do have the inputs needed. The cable I need is a bit more but well worth it from what the tech said.

    Again, I really appreciate your help. Now, off to BestBuy :)

    Yeah, component input really makes the difference. I didn't even know that ps2 supports hd-resolutions.

    No problem ^_^
