For anyone using component cable or is interested in purchasing a set, do yourself a favor and track down an official Sony component cable. Before I found the Sony brand cables at the pawn shop, I was using a generic set I purchased on Amazon for under $10. While they provided a jump over S-Video, I noticed slight banding in the upper portion of the image. Pairing the generic cables with a component switch exacerbated the issue greatly. I erroneously assumed my switch was the issue and lived with the banding.
I didn't expect any difference when I swapped the generic cable out with the official cable. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that not only was the banding gone, but the colors looked more vibrant. Unfortunately, the Sony component cable has held its value, with the cheapest cables hovering around the $20 range. If you find a cheap pair or don't mind splurging, pick them up. Pairing up a game outputting in 240p with the official PS2 component cable on an SDTV is breathtaking. |

Now you have peaked my interest. I have a variety of PS2 component cables. I am not sure any of them are "official". They typically came bundled with some 480p to VGA transcoders I got from Play-Asia. | ||||
