Yep, you need the component cables to make it look good. When I switched from the s-video to component on my PS2 hooked up to my HD 51" Sony I couldn’t believe the difference. There are usually some good deals for the cables on Ebay. ---

yeah, go with the glue, green and red… they should be about 59.99. Using the component will help a lot. At least use S video if anything. ---
