Sorry, I know this should be in the PS2 forum, but things seem to get more attention here.
When I first got my PS2 I used the composite lead to scart connector, plugged it into the s-video scart socket, and everything worked fine(games and DVD)
Later I read in a mag that the picture was significantly improved if you use a proper 21 pin RGB scart lead for games, but using this lead for movies won't work - eberything goes green or something. For movies the best connection is a proper S-video lead.
With this advice I went out and bought these leads. The strange thing is the RGB 21 pin scart works fine with DVDs and the picture is great, and the S-video lead gives terrible quality. Everyone tells me this is wrong and it shouldn't be doing this so I am a bit worried. Does anyone know what is happening? Please help!

i don't know why everyone is buying other leads for the PS2, The quality is fine and the DVD's are in colour with the free svideo lead so stick with that and your fine.
very, very odd! BEfore I give an answer, tell me, are you running the scart lead (or any other lead) through another device (eg VCR)?

From what I know, which isn't much...
Is your TV quite new?? I think it depends on the age of your TV.

PS2 is weird. I do not know. It is just temperamental and I do not like it.
