Ultimate Performance Component Video/Digital Audio Hookup of PS2 to TV or AV Receiver with Component Video/Fiber Optic Inputs

Monster Game Kit Delivers Realistic 3D Game Graphics and DVD Picture
If your TV features component video, S-video, and composite video connections, the performance choice is a no-brainer: component video. Component video transmits the picture from your PS2 to your TV in its purest form through three separate cables. This avoids multiple stages of modulation for the sharpest, brightest picture and game graphics possible.

Monster Technology Outperforms Ordinary Component Video Cables
To maintain precise 75-ohm impedance, gas is injected into the dielectric insulator, for the brightest, sharpest picture possible. A double shield of 100% coverage foil and a high density copper braid provide maximum protection against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EM) interference, which causes video "snow."

Monster's Fiber Optic Cable Maximizes PS2 Digital Audio Performance
Digital is the preferred high performance audio connection over analog because it has a wider dynamic range, which results in clearer highs and deeper, tighter bass, without the distortion common with analog connections. Monster LightWave 100 features a specially tuned fiber and polished termination for the most accurate surround sound possible.

Maximize Your Sony PlayStation 2 Gaming and Movie Investment
Play your PS2 with the best picture and sound possible. Use the best: Monster's digital audio and component video cable.

If you want the highest possible quality for your Playstation II then this is the item to buy. Note: It consists of two separate items: A 3 corded COMPONENT Monster cable that hooks into your PS II's main game port, and a DIGITAL AUDIO Monster cable that hooks into your PS II's separate DIGITAL AUDIO port.

This is important because you don't have to buy these two items together if you don't want. If you already had a digital audio cable you could use that instead and purchase a different PS-II COMPONENT CABLE (that didn't have an audio cable with it). Or, if you just wanted to save some money you could buy a non PS-II branded DIGITAL AUDIO cable like the "Monster Cable THX-Certified Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect Cable (4 Feet)" [Product Number: B00006JKW5] -which, by the way, I use and have no regrets purchasing. Then, you could buy the 3 corded COMPONENT Monster cable for the PS II separately -specifically the "Monster Cable GameLink 400 Component-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (10 feet)" [Product Number: B0000524PB]. This is the same as the product above (which is technically "a kit") but is not bundled with the digital audio cable.

NOTE: This does NOT go the same for X-BOXes. If you are looking for a similar type of cable for an XBOX you MUST buy the X-Box branded Digital Audio cable -because the cable (which is a standard Digital Audio cable) has to plug into a proprietary connector, which THEN plugs directly into the proprietary X-Box COMPONENT cable (not the box itself), that you can ONLY get if you buy the X-BOX branded Digital Audio cable. The PS II, on the other hand, has a generic Digital Audio port that you can plug any Digital Audio cable into -it doesn't need any adapters. Thank you Sony!

Finally, if you like the look of the COMPONENT cable for the PSII, but don't have the capability for Digital Audio on your TV or receiver, there is one more option. Try the "Monster Cable PGL400 CVAA-10 GameLink" instead [Product Number: B00006345I]. It is the exact same Monster PS-II COMPONENT video cable except that it has 5 cables instead of 3 -the extra 2 cables are standard Monster Analog Audio cables which will work with all TVs.

The difference between the composite video and this cable is amazing. It actually took a while for my eyes to adjust to how sharp and vivid the games were. You can't go wrong with Monster Cables.

I didn't have high expectations from this product since i've barely discovered what component is compared to composite... so i was under the impression it wouldn't be that much different right? WRONG! while it's not xbox 360 quality it certain did step it up a notch. i have a widescreen lcd and the composite video the ps2 originally came with, the video looked rather soft and blurred (i blame the lcd set stretching the image) however with this component video cable, the picture is alot sharper, actually so sharp and vivid i had to turn the sharpness on the lcd down. Well i haven't had any experience with the one from sony or mad catz or whatever else there is so i can't be certain it's monster's quality materials that make this such a good investment. however the sony and mad catz look cheap, no monster product ever does. maybe that's why they charge so dam much.

i'm happy with it, i'd be even happier if i coulda got it for less
