    PS2 / LCD TV?


    I recently got a Vizio 32" 1080p LCDTV and would like to know what is the best way to hook the slim PS2 to it...

    Do I need different cables than the ones that currently are in use to run it through my analog TV?

    Thanks!

    component cables for video. optical cable for audio if you have a surround sound setup. if not, regular RCA audio cables.

      I don't have surround...are the yellow, red and white ones that came with the console the regular RCA cables?

      I think so, but want to be very sure...

      Thanks Gamecock!

        Yeah RCA are the red/white cables for audio.

        Component cables will give you 480p resolution. Composite is only 480i.

          In your experience, do PS2 games look okay on LCD TVs or should I keep my fatback analog around to run the PS2 thorough?

            with component cables...PS2 looks pretty good on a LCD. I had mine hooked up to a 32inch 720p Vizio.

              Good to know...sorry for this next newb question:

              What are component cables and how do I know what kind to get for this?

              Is this it:

                That link is dead, but I think you were looking at this:

                http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-2-.../dp/B0000520GE

                In which case are the component cables, and will work for PS3 as well.

                  Yup, those are the ones...

                  I got a HDMI to HDMI cable to run the PS3 through the HDTV TV...

                  Are you saying that the component cables would do the same thing?

                  Thanks!

                    They'll display HD video, but not HD audio and I don't think it displays 1080p either. HDMI is more than likely best for PS3 if you have that option available to you, but I'm just letting you know it works for it as well.

                      Okay cool...

                      So I should use the HDMI cable for the PS3 and get a component cable for the PS2?

                      Thanks again...

                        Yeah, that's the best rundown I would say.

                              King, I have a Samsung 32-inch HDTV and picked up the MadCatz (I think that's what they are called; it's GameStop's brand) cables and they work for PS3/PS2/360 and Wii. The PS2 games look good on my TV with these cables.

                              For a PS3, though, I'd probably go with the HDMI cable even though, as stated, the cables I have do allow you to hook up your PS3 that way as well.
