Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster Cable GameLink 400 Component-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (10 feet)
Customer Review: Are you still in the market for PS2 component cables? Look no further.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I bought these cables a year ago, I was hoping for something a little cheaper, but your options are limited these days. The Sony component cables are hard to find, and I don't want to be stuck with another MadCatz clunker. Monster is notorious for overpricing their products, even if they are of good quality, but in all honesty ~$20 for video game component cables is a pretty good price. I was using a pair of aforementioned MadCatz S-Video cables for my PS2, and while they did provide a better picture than the standard composite cables, they crapped out within 18 months. Monster made a great cable here, and after a year of service they still provide a great signal through my component video switcher. As everybody else will tell you, there is noticeable improvement in the video quality with these cables. However, this cable falls one star short of perfect because of the thick cable connectors. They were difficult to plug into my switcher and leave room for other normal sized cables.Customer Review: Great Picture Quality!
Summary: 4 Stars
The picture quality on the Monster Gamelink 400 is quite breathtaking, especially on my Mitsubishi 55" Wide-screen HDTV. Without going into technical details, this is by far the best way to hook up the PS2 to your television. Before purchasing, make certain that your television has Component video input AND that you have a receiver with fiber optic digital inputs. You will need a TOS-link fiber optical cable to transfer sound as yes, the GameLink 400 does not include sound. TOS-link cables are quite common and can be found for as little as [PRICE] for a 10' cable, a small price to pay for the huge increase in sound quality and to get the most out of your system.Customer Review: not necesary if you have a good TV
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a 29" LG flatron (this is an EXCELLENT TV), and the quality of the DVD movies and the games when I use the standar AV cables that came with the PS2 was great.Now with my new COMPONENT CABLES I have almost the same quality, the truth is that my TV have lots of filters and amplifiers that improve the quality of the signal and the performance with my new cables are not noticeable."
My advice if that if you have a good quality TV (like my LG flatron) use the cables that came with the PS2. you will not see any difference. BUT if you have a HDTV you may be see some improvement
Customer Review: If you have component on your TV get this
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have component inputs on your TV your likely an enthusiest who will appreciate this hi-end cable. I originally purchased the pelican S-Video at launch, and then purchased the Gamelink 400 as soon as it was available. Its was well worth the wait. Performance is very good - the colors are more defined, especially red. The reds are no long "glowing" but are rich and controlled. It gets 4 stars because its a little on the expensive side, but I wouldn't want any other cable. If you have the money, buy it.Customer Review: Will it work for PS3?
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using it for the PS2 for several years and I love it.
Now, I just got the PS3 so I wonder if it is compatible with it.
I do not seem to be able to get a component signal out of this cable in my PS3 so I wonder if it is the cable or it is me just not being able to set it up correctly.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
