Improved the picture from my PS2. Lot less blurry than the AV cable. One thing to note is that this only works on the PS2 picture. This does not work for the PS1 picture as not able to output a component picture in PS1 mode - something to note. Putting a PS1 game in the PS2 produces a picture full of lines - funny though the PS1 logo is OK but the picture changes when the game itself runs. I'm sure I checked all settings. I have a PS1 set up as well (with a S-Video cable) so just use that instead. The other thing to note is you need to change the output of your PS2 to Component before you attach this cable! Use your old AV cable to change it in the settings menu. It makes no difference to the picture under AV but if you don't you will just get a black picture with the new cable and consequently won't be able to see the menu to change it! Once it's set up the picture is so much better.
