Why is my VGA component not working?

Is a 15 pin vga component connector essentially the same as component cables?

  • i got a new tv, and hooking up my ps2 to it, it looks horrible. unplayably so. ive heard this problem can be solved by using component cables (im using composite right now) but sadly my tv doesn't have ports for connecting component cables. it does however have whats called a component VGA connector. it's a 15 pin connector. it has the word component in the name... does it do the same thing as the 5 component cables? and if so, is there such a thing as a ps2 cable that uses a vga component connector rather than the 5 cables?

  • Answer:

    If you search "PS2 component cable" you will find many online. The picture will be much better than composite video. You TV must have a component video input for this to work. http://www.amazon.com/Resolution-Component-Playstation-Sony-2-3/dp/B0013OM528/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331829411&sr=1-2

VGA is similar to component. Component uses three cables for video. You say you have 5 cables, you must be talking about stereo sound (red & white) being the other two. Component cables have the vertical and horizontal signals mixed with the three signal colors being sent. VGA has seperate pins that carry the H and V signals. So VGA requires 5 signals for video. The other pins just carry control signals for computer monitors and is not needed to just see video on a TV screen. If the ps2 does not have VGA, it will be difficult to seperate the V and H signals from the component out on the ps2.

You can get converter boxes which convert most video types to another, which is likely what you need. Still though, your PS2 is SD so can only look so good.
