progressive scan wins every time. for sure. but for interlaced... i think i prefer s-video. the rgb scart with an interlaced image looks overly sharpened. it's like abrasive to my eyes.
Of course but most PS2 do not have native progressive scan support so, interlaced video is a fact of life that you cannot escape on real hardware at least :) I will always prefer RGB SCART for this reason, same with component but S-Video is still a great choice for PS2 video output :)
I mostly had a TV that had scart but not S-Video so i bought the RGB Scart cable for every console, and when i got a nicer TV i never found an S-Video cable and i was wondering if i was missing out
RGB SCART is the best here thanks to better image quality & 480p support via RGsB :) Component which I tested on this channel vs RGB is the same as long as the cable is of high quality :)
In this case, S-Video works whether the console is in RGB or Component mode :) I talk about this more in depth on my main channel in a video called PS2 Video Output Misconceptions :)
Most PS2 games looked worse than Dreamcast games because almost all DC games have higher resolution output and run smoother. The PS2 really should have had all games running at 480P at 60fps and it would have been soo amazing
Sadly different time & VGA for the Dreamcast wasn't used anywhere near as much as people think unfortunately :) Although I agree with you, I don't the PS2's 480i/576i output & the games are still amazing despite the shortcomings :)
@@OwtDaftUK Yes PS2 had better graphics defiantly, just one look at Gran Turismo 3 or 4 & there's no chance the DC was more powerful xD People are confusing video output resolutions with actual graphics output :)
@@AffrosCuriositiesOfficial I like composite on CRT TV because that is what i grew up with haha. I never used S-Video on a CRT TV but i expect it to look awesome with the phosphors of the CRT, the glow and awesome constrast that no LCD can match.
@@Destroyersoul-e9x That's fine & I too grew up with CRT's (I'm 31 this year) & recently I did see a CRT with RGB SCART playing a PS1 & PS2 game and yes it did look fantastic :) However I'm happy with my 4K display in my opinion displaying retro games, especially with quality cables :) Still nothing wrong with composite on a CRT if you prefer to see retro games that way!
@@AffrosCuriositiesOfficial Im 30 and yeah for me composite is still the ideal way to play older games as they really benefit on a CRT with the added blurriness of composite. But i am even more curious about RGB on a CRT now that you mention it. Im about to get a TV with S-VIDEO port. I need to find a Playstation 2 S-VIDEO cable but here is impossible to find.
@@Destroyersoul-e9x That's fair, everyone's opinion or preferences are not the same & I'm happy with my 4K display with the OSSC :) Oh believe me it was a sight to behold, especially if you love CRT's :) I managed to get Sony Official S-Video Cables (Used in this video) for £6 off eBay back in 2019 xD Here in the UK you can find a few on eBay but RGB SCART was more popular and much easier to find :)
In this video no & the quality will be similar to RGB SCART as you saw in this video :) However I knew people would ask so, later on I will release a video comparing RGB SCART against Component cables for the PS2, so it should answer your question :)
