Mcbazel Component Video Cable for PS2/PS3 – Y/Pb/Pr High Definition Video and Audio Output, Only Compatible with Component Video Ports (Not for AV Input Devices)-6Ft/1.8M

Far exceeded expectations. If you still have a TV or monitor with component connections this is the best way to play PS2 without burning a hole in your wallet with Retrotinks etc. Does exactly as expected, sharpens up image quality to where you need it to be and now games will look as intended if not better - no more blurriness of the usual composite cables (do yourself a favour and get rid). 5/5 all day long. Just wish I'd known about them sooner!

Excellent cable to bring life back into my PS2. Makes the graphics a lot clearer on modern TV’s and way better picture quality than a HDMI converter. Recommended

I ordered this after researching a number of ways to make PS2 games look better on modern televisions. I have previously used a Scart to HD adapter box but the results weren't great, and the box cost triple the price of this cable. Fortunately my Sony Bravia 4K TV still has a component input, so I was able to use this cable with no additional adapters or workarounds. The improvement is very noticeable and the cable worked without any issue. I see a particular improvement to the way text is displayed in the games. There was just a minor issue that warranted 4 stars instead of 5. The connector on the PS2 side is very slightly larger than the official one, possibly less tighter manufacturing tolerances than Sony would allow. This lead me to use a bit more force to get it into the back of the PS2. It has loosened up after a few tries though. I would recommend this cable if you're looking for a replacement cable, or if you're fed up with the blurry muddy output of a scart signal.

This is great, it allows me to use my Playstation 2 with my latest LG Smart TV BUT, and this is something which is not explained IN ANY youtube video or guidance I have watched or read online, you will have to access the system menu in the settings within the Playstation and toggle to the appropriate setting or the TV will register that there is no Component signal (you may hear the sound of the menu screen or the game playing through the TV but you will have no picture). In order to be able to do this you may use the older AV cable, red plug to red receiver, white plug to white receiver and then the yellow plug to the green receiver, this will allow your TV to receive a signal from the Playstation, you will be able to access the setting menu provided you have not put a disc into the Playstation and it is just operating "empty". The setting you want to highlight is the one other than RGB (it is a string of letters). Having done this, you can then hook up this HD Component AV Cable, the colours of each of the plugs correspond to each of the receivers on the TV set and it is good to go. There is some debate about the difference between HD Component AV Cable and PS2 to HDMI Converters. I have both, I am going to comment in a bit more detail on this after I have played more games and been able to assess properly each means of upgrading the PS2 picture for improved TV audio-visuals. What I would say is that so far I think that both the HD Component AV Cable and PS2 to HDMI Converter are better pictures that the previous AV cable attachment which I used to toggle to the other setting (I played a single game which was dark anyway but the picture was awful, really adversely effected play). Neither are necessary to make the PS2 signal be received by the TV and part of my confusion was a consequence of having used a SCART attachment with the AV cable in my previous TV and initially not being aware, when the SCART attachment is removed, which plugs would attach to which colour corresponding receivers (yellow to green). The picture is not great though and I would only recommend using this to toggle the settings and use either HD Component AV Cable or PS2 to HDMI. Thus far my preference is for the HD Component AV Cable but I'm going to update in time. I hope this is helpful, as I tried hard discover this information online and eventually only found it in a video which was listed as comic, I suspect because of issues with it quality.

I ordered this for my PS2 after noticing that my TV has all the outputs for HD connection for the PlayStation. So I order it it came blah blah. Go to fit it and the connector into the back of the PS2 was really stiff and awkward and didn’t want to go in but I managed to get it in while grinding my teeth. And installed it into the TV. And then nothing, nothing would come up, so I thought right, let me take out the extras and see if it will work like an original AV cable, again nothing. Basically the cable supplied doesn’t work at all and was just a waste of money and time and they probably know this considering they don’t accept returns. Disappointed and ashamed at both the supplier and amazon for allowing this to happen and not make returns able. Diasappointed and would not recommend!

I was a bit skeptical of these cables at first considering their cheap price, but I thought there was no harm in giving them a try. I wasn't ready for such a massive jump in picture quality though. Component video is a complete game changer for any retro console that supports it, even at an interlaced resolution there's such an increase in picture clarity. I've attached two images of Rayman 3, one of only a few PAL games that supports 480p. On the right is composite at 480i, on the left is component at 480p. Not only can you clearly see every pixel, but the clarity of background detail is much improved. Be warned that this cable will reveal imperfections in all of your favourite games! Cannot recommend this cable enough, amazing quality for the price.

When plugged into ps2 and powered up the tv showed no picture on the component screen setting, after watching you tube videos it seems that you have to select the component output on the console itself while connected to the tv using the old red white and yellow connectors which I did not have, if you follow the videos correctly you do something called a blind reboot using your controller, it may take a few attempts like it did me but it works, take your time and follow the videos, ps2 is now showing on the tv in component mode and I’m back to playing games from my youth, would definately recommend

Looks like HDMI from a distance. 5 stars

Testé avec ma XBOX originale en 480p et 720p OK Testé avec ma PS2 en YPbPr OK (paramètre a changer avant de changer de câble sous peine de se retrouver avec un écran noir) Testé avec ma Wii, et aussi en mode GameCube progressive, tout est OK. Pas ou peut de latence ressentie, pour le prix, ce produit est irréprochable..

Das ps2 Komponentenkabel bietet ein scharfes, gutes Bild und kräftige Farben. Bin mehr als zufrieden !

Great product, worked very well, just remember to switch your PS2 video output setting from RGB to YCbCr 😃

Tevreden met de levering en het eindresultaat. Moest wel de beeldinstellingen eerst aanpassen met de oude AV kabel om beeld te krijgen. Ook is de pasvorm van het mondstukje erg strak en moet dus met wel wat kracht in de Playstation 2 geplaatst worden.
