Thinking of getting a component cable not sure?

    Ive got a 5 year old tv.
    Its not a bad tv and has stereo sound and scart sockets and its about 20inch.
    However I don't know if it supports 60hz or not.
    Id like to play my ps2 games in 60hz mode but when I try it they appear stable but in black and white.
    I heard somewhere that the cable that comes with the ps2 doesn't allow 60hz mode and dont know if thats true or not.
    I was wondering if I got a component cable would it allow me to play games in 60hz mode on my tv.
    Would it offer any visual improvement on a tv like that?

    An RGB SCART cable will display your games in colour on the TV with improved picture quality. I assume you're currently using the craptastic yellow, red and white cable or worse, an RF cable.

    av cable? :rolleyes: any cable for a games console, that connects it to tv is an "av" cable, rgb scart = best. composite y/r/w = crap. RF (aerial tuning in, lol) = crapatactular.

    Is this a new thing: Where someone answers a question and someone else comes along and kind of re-formats the answer with a new wording and tried to pass it off as his or her own work?
