HI,
I bought a logic 3 scart lead for the ps2, i pluged it in set everything up and started up me ps2, but i couldnt really notice any difference between this lead and the one that came with the ps2....i'm 90% sure that the lead that i bought is an RGB lead...but it doesnt say anything on the box that it came in about it being a RGB scart...it has got the full 21 pins...i'm just wondering whether my tv doesnt support scart...how can i test it?? i've got no dvd's, so i cant test the 'green screen' thing... the only cd that i have got that i 'think' is a dvd is the one that was free with PlayNation, some Manga thing, i've played that and no green screen appeared....so i'm thinkin that 1. The lead isnt RGB or 2. my tv doesnt support RGB......HELP!

I think that if you can play 60Hz it will be NTSC compatable. As NTSC uses 60Hz as its refreash rate while we use 50Hz, this is usually why our games can be slower. I know that my friend can use 60Hz on his DC games even though I think hes connected via a RF unit and not a RGB scart.
Yeah, i'll probably get it.
Question before i do, cause i need make sure me tv takes RGB.......(i know this is the wrong place to ask this, but never mind) With the 60hz option on some Dreamcast games, to get it to work do you have to have a RGB scart + a tv that takes RGB?? because i've tried the 60hz option with a scart and this works... does this mean me tv takes RGB??
Thanks for your help people

The lead is top quality, I highly recommend it. I normally switch it to DVD mode to play the PSW DVD's, as its better than loading up the region changer on my Action Replay 2 V2 card. I use GAME mode to watch my region 1 DVD's.
yeh thats it but im getting it on thursday.

What it actually means is its got a switch. It doesnt use the RGB for DVD's. Where you plug in the lead in the back of the PS2, it has a switch. DVD and GAME. DVD is composite output just like the normal lead you get with the PS2 and then GAME is RGB. Of course if you have region-x or the Action Replay 2 V2 you can use GAME mode to watch DVD without the green screen. If you use GAME mode for DVD's without using region-x or the Action Replay 2 V2 then DVD's are green.
The lead is true RGB but gives the user the option to play DVD's in colour on the same lead by switching a switch instead of swapping leads. Well worth the money the one I got for £12.99 from SR is a Blaze scart lead with gold connectors, it also has the 2 phonos to connect to a Hi-Fi aswell as built in G-con 2 socket.
Hid Rock if its a blue scart lead with a lead winder its the same as SR sell here.
Mattc RGB is alot better than the composite that you get on the normal lead. Its a noticable change, I would buy the RGB lead SR sell here as its great.

Get the Blaze lead from SR. It is RGB as I have one.
Me tv has only 1 scart socket....i've looked and there's no 3 dots in a tv bit....when i switch on the ps2 with me scart, the picture appears, no tuning or no pressing any channel buttons...and says Av-1 at the top corner.......but this is where things start to get a tad strange...if i press me teletext button the picture changes to what i think is RGB..the screen gets sharper...but theres a loss of colour...and when i put in a PSM2 dvd in and press the teletext button the screen goes green....but if i take it off teletext the picture goes normal...full colour...but to me more fuzzier......thats why mes totally confused?? The lead i'm talking about is at www.chipsworld.co.uk it does say its RGB scart...
So its either 1. my tv is utter toss (it aint old tho its in Argos, page #573, number 11) or 2. the lead aint RGB

You'll be able to use the SCART for games and the S-Video for DVD's, yes - though you'll have to switch between your WEGA's inputs, so that the input selected is the box with the arrow pointing into it from the left, with an S to the right of the box.
