PS2 through component

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Basically, my PS2 looks ass through component on my LCD, is there any way I can improve the picture?

Id like to know the answer to this also. Vga box maybe?

make sure you are using an official sony component lead to start of with. Also make sure the sharpness setting isnt to high on yout tv (turn to to off then add to suit). If you are using a component splitter, make sure its of good quality (ditch the farmer!).

Unfortunatley ps2 480i signals will probably never look as good on a lcd as an crt tv. A lot of teaking has got mine damn close with better colour reproduction.

Get a square trinitron for pre hidef gaming or its gonna be near total fail 90% of the time.

I use a cheap Game own-brand component cable on mine and the picture looks about as good as you'd expect from a PS2. I've noticed it does vary somewhat between games though, with some coming out better than others. It's still not as good as a CRT for games with a lot of fast-moving objects though.

I've never had a problem with my cheap GAME bought PS2 component cable with my JVC 32" WS CRT at 480i or 480p. But a). the picture quality (PQ) when using any prog scan option offered is dependent on the game and b). RGB through SCART PQ at least equals 480i through Component. In theory it should be slightly better. In the case of Tekken 4 it isn't noticeably inferior to 480p.

PS2 doesn't have good graphics output for my display

If you have the space buy a 2nd hand Trintion or something like that for it. I don't have the space.

i have a game component cable for the ps2, looks slightly better on my westinghouse 37" than the dell 24", but sharpness has been turned down to 0.with the sharpness up, the picture looks absolutely cack. imo, crt is best for ps2.
