Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The next generation of entertainment consoles requires the most advanced cable technology. With its 128-bit "Emotion Engine" drawing 75 million polygons/second, 300 MHz processor, and the ability to play DVD movies in Dolby Digital Surround Sound, the PlayStation 2 was made to blow away all the most serious gamers and movie enthusiasts.

S-Video is the preferred high-performance connection for the Playstation 2, because it sends the video signal in separator chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) channels for a picture that's richer in color, brighter, and sharper. It also gets rid of dot crawl, the annoying flickering along object edges. Monster's GameLink 300 S-video uses advanced technologies like nitrogen gas, 24-karat gold contacts, and 8-cut Turbine RCA connectors to ensure the best S-video signal possible.

Monster's advanced audio technology delivers the full sonic performance of your PS2. Your PS2 is state-of-the-art in audio quality, but its sonic performance is only as good as the cable used to connect it.

Maximize your gaming and movie investment with the GameLink 300's patented cable technologies. If you're like most gamers, you'll spend hundreds of dollars on games and movies. Why not play them with the best picture and sound possible?

5.0 out of 5 stars Monster Delivers Again, November 9, 2000

This review is from: Monster Cable PGL300 S-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (Video Game)

Monster has consistantly delivered quality cables and doesn't disappoint with its entry PS2 s-video cable. I was using the Sony s-video cable for about a week before finally hunting one of the Gamelink 300 cables at a local Best Buy. In that interim I watched The Patriot and the colors had a red and yellow hue to them. With the Gamelink the picture is clear, crisp and the colors are vibrant (cannonball headshot anyone? :)).

To get the most from your PS2 you really need a set of these cables in either s-video or component (if your TV supports them). For those who are unfamiliar with the heirarchy, it's A/V, S-video, component in ascending quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, November 1, 2000

This review is from: Monster Cable PGL300 S-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (Video Game)

If you own a PS2 and you have a TV that accepts S-Video, you owe it to yourself to BUY THIS CABLE! Trust me, the money is well worth it. This is by far the best S-Video cable for the PS2, and it doesn't deserve anything less. With this cable, you will see details in games and on DVD's that just plain are not clear at all with other cables. I HIGHLY recommend this product!

3.0 out of 5 stars COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT COMPONENT VIDEO CABLES FOR PS2, October 10, 2001

By 

Doug (Cucamonga, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monster Cable GameLink 400 Component-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (10 feet) (Electronics)

I have a 27" Sony Wega T.V. Unlike other reviewers, I actually bought three different component video cables for the ps2. Call me picky, call me obsessive or call me pathetic, but I wanted to know if there truly was a difference between the monster component cable and the other cheaper ones. The answer is: not that I could see. When I first got my PS2 I bought the mad katz S-VIDEO because I didn't even know what component video was. Later, I found out I had component video on my T.V. and also found out that it was supposed to be an even better input than s-video. So I purchased the pelikan brand component video cable [...]. Unlike other reviewers, I saw a tremendous difference going from s-video to component video. Clearer picture, brighter colors; an overall improvement--not an improvement you had to look for, it was OBVIOUS. Later I was searching ebay and found an incredible deal: the sony brand component video cable, factory packaged for [...]. And honestly, it DID make a difference. I can't totally describe it except to say that it seemed to give a better color representation; the picture simply looked better--although not dramatically better than the picture created by the pelikan cable. So then I said "might as well try the monster". I honestly saw NO difference between the Sony cable and the Monster cable. I pay a lot of attention to detail--too much in fact. So if there was a difference to be seen, I presume I would have seen it. It's possible that the Monster cable would make a difference on an HDTV, but on my T.V., it did not. If you have a T.V. that is not HD but has the component inputs, use them, but I suggest just using the sony brand component cable to get the performance of the moster cable without the price.
