You can get RGB Scart cables for the PS3 but you need a RGB Scart socket on your telly for any improvement.

Have a look at this from Amazon

Re: Cable confusion.

RBG scart will be the best you can get, but any improvement will be minimal.

You need to stop living in the stone-age and buy an HD TV if you want any meaningful improvements, this is the 21st century! Whilst history isn't my strong point I think even the Flintstones had an HD TV.

Re: Cable confusion.

Hiya!

 

Unlike digital HDMI cables to a certain extent, analogue cables (SCART RGB for example) do benefit from being quality built.

 

I've bought Monster Cables in the past, and although I wouldn't recommend spending on one of those these days, I would say that you should steer clear of the really cheap pap off Ebay and go for a more quality cable.

 

That said, as others have said, HD is the way to go so I wouldn't expect too much if I were you.

 

You really are missing out on what the PS3, and especially BluRay, is all about until you go HD.

 

Good luck.

Re: Cable confusion.

I once asked a sales person in John Lewis whether a particular TV had an RGB SCART input. He developed a blank look and then after a short delay helpfully explained that SCART was better as it "uses all the colours of the rainbow".

 

Probably my own fault for asking.

Why do I imagine a rather camp person doing really big hand movements as though he were sprinkling fairy dust as he said it.

 

All the colours of the rainbow! lol

Yes, I was particularly concerned about what would happen to the yellows as they didn't appear to have been catered for in the standard.
