ps2 pal to ntsc vidoe convertor-help?

[strawdog]

hi,
i am using my modded pal ps2 in the us on a samsung hdtv,
the component cables only give me a signal if the ps2 game has a 720p mode,
so i am having to swap cables to play some games using the yellow phono conection,the problem is the pal-ntsc converter i have gives a shocking bad signal/picture
can anyone recommend the best brand/place to buy a good quality converter?

thanks

couldn't you try an rgb to vga convertor and use the vga port of the samsung tv ?
