Ever since i got my Sony Playstation 2 I have been using the standard video cable supplied with the machine, during these past months I have not been disapointed with the quiality of the graphics.
Today I got myself an pukka RGB Scart cable and I took it home not thinking that it would make that much difference, how wrong I was.
For those of you that are considering buying an RGB scart cable for your PS2 and are woundering if its worth it, I will try and discribe the difference.
For those of you that already have one, well you should know this already.
For the test I used 1 x Sony Playstation, 1 x Sony Wega TV (RGB compatable scart socket) 1 x original scart cable and 1 x brand new RGB scart cable.
I decided to use GT3 as the test game, so I loaded it up with the original cable in place, loaded Tahti Maze rally course, everything looked pretty nice, like normal.
Next I parked my scubby and removed the cable and replaced it with the RGB one, here if what I noticed...
1. The picture was brighter and the coulors more vivid
2. The picture was sharper
3. The picture appeared to have increased in resolution
4. Objects and the cars were more defined
5. My missus noticed the improvement (this is unusual)
There was a couple of things that may help you understand what I mean, the dials when in car on GT3 were sharp and perfectly readable, before they were readable but fuzzy.
I also found that objects in the distance were recognisable, where as before they were pixely.
In conclusion I would say that if your TV can accept an RGB signal you should get an RGB cable right now, the improvement in picture is greater than I ever hoped for.
SR should now insert a link for this cable.
