THanks for the suggestion.. I will look there and let u knw:hap2:
 
AV cables should be available at a Sony store. Are there any other Sony stores you know of? Try some popular gaming stores as well.

Also, you don't need component cables. Only some games support HD and even then, it's only 480p.

I approached only one sony world here in ahmedabad.they said they only has the dafault AV cable that comes in the pack of ps2. however there may be a chance of getting a quality cable in CROMA.I have seen they some very good AV cable ( MONSTER n all)..I have also surf the Play-asia.com. THey are selling on for 160 inr,however i dont the brand..as per research on this topic.some of indian ps2 users said that there is significant improvement in visual by using component cable(RGB) over the default AV cable..S-video quality is somewhere in between RGB n AV..I have an 19" lcd monitor and a external tv tunner box who can take S-video..current graphics quality has a washout feell...

You will experience lag. That is one of the reason why im not into the whole "tv turner + monitor setup". Component cables are the best in regards to qualtiy and they have nothing to do with the kind of games you will be playing (might they be 480i or 480p).
I got my component cables from play-asia for about 200 bucks. They work good, best part is that im using that for my PS3.
Please post back after getting them and tell me if you experiencing lag or not, if you are not then i guess ill get myself an ext tv turner box aswell.

P.S One last thing, if you are ordering from play-asia no matter what it is always choose the envelope type of packaging. Higher chances of avoiding customs compared to the box packaging.

component cable @ 200 bucks- its a great deal,,please post picture of the cable and mention the brand also..Now let me clear the LAG Issue for the "tv turner + monitor setup",,there are two approach:
1)use internal TV tunner card
2)use external Tv tunner card
-
now the internal Tv tunner card approach is like a SLR camera,,you need to install Dscaler and configure it correctly to get the best picture quality( the quallity of TV tunner and cable type(component/s-video/AV) also dictates the visual quality))..
>in this approach you have get LAG
>the best part of this configuration is you get the sound through ur sound card

-
the external tv tunner option is simple n easy plug the monitor into the tv tunner ,plug ps2 cable to the tv tunner and connect the tv tuner to your stereo speaker set,,no configuration,,no CPU,,PLug- n-GAME ON
I am using a EXternal TV Tunner which take S-video input,,currently i m using the AV to s-video converter to plug the ps2 cable to my tv tunner --I am not getting any LAG ( for the proff I am playing Gran Turiso 4 ,,and getting all the touch sensitive feel as I supposed to)..Since my LCD monitor is 19" wide screen,,the picture quality is lil wasshed out..but overall its ok,,you can read the text aswell..if you able to get a TV tunner box who takes component cable as input,,i m sure you will get superb quality( i do some googling and find two -three high quality external tv tunner box who take RGB input-cost approximately 6-7k INR)..also if you a flat CRT monitor instead of a LCD the picture quality will be better, i hope

The first one is official cable from sony, the second is from 3rd party guys. I got the second one. Alright then thanks for clearing that up for me. But the thing is, i didnt want to go for a "good" Tv Turner box, id rather get a monitor with component inputs, or Go for Neoya X2VGA 2 Home (rs.3400) But since the second option invloves ordering from online and customs can pose to be a problem; im just saving up for the right monitor.

Lets see how my mood swings. One more thing, i created my own component cables for the PS2, they worked but i didnt like the fact that i had to solder pins into the ps2's display output ~ ~

hey post some pic of the component cable created by you..also let me know if you google out any monitor having component inputs..i have ordered the s-video from play-asia ,,it is shipped from singapore..does custom will held it..any suggestionss
 
Lets hope not, ahh fcuk, forgot to say one more thing, you should have requested play-asia to mark it as a gift, there is no chance in hell that customs can hold it if it is marked as a gift item. Anyways just hope for the best. And as for pics pics, no chance, i dont have a handphone with a camera, nor do i have any of those fancy pancy camera's and stuff. I just followed the guide for creating wii component cables but applied the same logic for the PS2. It was a pretty okay project i suppose. I was super dissapointed that i wasted two days worth of ma time when i could have spent 200 bucks on the cables themselves.
As for the monitors, googling is too easy. But finding what you find in google;in india is the hardest part. there a few monitors in india with a decent price (def of decent : where price isnt hiked x2 due to taxes).
Lg245 31K (but people have given it mixed reviews, some say its bad, some say its good), Dell 2408WFP (still hasnt been released here). Apart from these two monitors, i dont really see anything else. Oh yea, i think i better mention this, component is not the only requirement for me. I want FULL HD, thats the reason both the monitors i suggested are 24 inch, and carry such a heavy price tag. I still havent met my friend who imports stuff in the black, to get his price listing. Once i meet him i think i would have decided what to buy.

ok..it seems getting a tv tunner wid component cable or someing like that ( the link tat u have given..costing 3k inr) is the only option for me..if you find someone who can get a kind device for me,let me know
 
Its not available in india, thats the biggest bummer. In china these things cost peanuts. I have the links ;blue prints for a transcoder, just finding some college punks who can build one for their projects or something. No one wants to do it. The reasons they say is that its not marketable !!! But treadmill which generate electricity has more marketable options it seems!!
Same thing goes for a water cooler, no one wants to build one coz they say "In india they dont use this stuff"; "OMG its so risky!!"; god damn lame. Some times i wish i had done EE instead of SE.

Sorry for the offtopic sh!t, here are other produtcs that you might wanna look into but i cant assure that they will work for the PS2, the biggest issue is with the 480i and the monitor / device capable of supporting that res :-
HDfury <== ignore.. this is just for general info of what to do with a monitor without HDCP
Buy XCM 1080p plus PSP2VGA VGA box (PS3 & XB360 & Wii & Sony PSP Slim & Lite) - Order Now!

XCM cant work with ps2, coz of the 480i and the 480p issue. And you will get the S-Video cable in like 2-3 weeks time max. Send me a PM on how the graphics looks + any lag or anything.
