"OMG !!!!"

To my surprise my Dad bought me an RGB cable today, He had no idea what it was or what it does but at £2 (Brand new) he thought it might be a bargin and he was right!!!! I wasn't too keen on RGB cables because of the "green" screen effect when watching DVDs but the boost from the cable suplied to using the RGB cable is unmeasurable and my TV does not have an RGB mode. It's like using a moniter on the highest resolution and I ain't kidding!!!!

My advise is to pick up one of these things and stop using the cruddy one supplied!!!!

Well bleedin hell! the tv i have is brand new. Panasonic 28" widescreen 28PK3.

I have ready to rumble boxing and as it starts it asks if i want to switch to 60Hz, if i chose this, the picture is funny, does that mean i don't have NTCS support and will never get a better picture that what i have.

I could go to s-vhs, but the sockets are on the front of tv and i don't want wires all over place.

My picture isn't bad, but the reds especially do seam to be abit blurred, can anyone help?

BTW, The blaze cable was gold plated.

Then your TV does NOT suppport it, When using mine I discovered my TV supports RGB and NTSC support meaning I can also run games in 60hz and boy does it look good :-D

If the RGB cable made no difference at all then as I said your TV doesn't support it, try the gold leads which reduce static but I hear that doesn't improve it much for normal tellys :-(

I bought the Blaze Ultimate scart cable on Sat for 15 quid, and it made NO DIFFERENCE at all!!!!

So i'm taking it back tonight and sticking with the cable that came with the ps2. If getting the best one out there doesn't improve picture what will?

Mine's actually a PS1 RGB cable which probably explains the price, doesn't matter though, the pins, cable, output is all the same size and works like a charm. It's the offical RGB PS1 lead ;-)

and how many inches is your widescreen?

any way im getting me cable on saturday

There are quite a few RGB/scart leads about, is there any discernable difference between them? I had a look on amazon and they all seem to get patchy reviews.....Has anyone got one that is definitively 'the nuts'...thanks

the red on my >>>WIDESCREEN T.V.<<<<<<<< (Not boasting of course *snort*) always appears very bright and spread out and between red and another colour there is a kinday orange boarder...do u think it will help?

I have the same problem with red colours on my tv. It's noticable more on P.E.S, the red dots on the radar, cos it's the only game i play aswell.

Can you tell us the make and exact details of the cable you got. I've read reviews about a Blaze Ultimate cable and others, but which make is yours?
