Resolution should be about the same (but don't know if they can display 240p/i property, but that's up to the tv as well), but the image quality/clarity wouldn't be the same, OEM components are always better as they display the picture without any noise unlike those cheap Chinese HDMI adapters..
What do you mean by noise? Would it come from the power cord/power supply?
I was told it looks better if using official component cables. Do modern TVs (like 4K/8K ones) come with component inputs?
Lately, I'm having some blackouts after turning on the TV when playing PS2. I have audio but no display.
I use a PS2 to HDMI adapter and connect its HDMI cable to a HDMI switch. I changed the PS2's USB port in which the PS2 to HDMI adapter's USB cable is connected to, changed the PS2 to HDMI's adapter HDMI cable and even the HDMI port of the HDMI switch in which it's connected to but I still have this issue.
I find it odd I stop having this issue when turning off and on the TV (until it returns after the TV is turned on next time).
Anyway, I also have another strange problem on my old HDTV. I no longer had official composite cables so I ordered third-party components cables and connected them to the PS2 and TV and I'd have blackouts for a second and so and then return to normal when playing PS2. It did this constantly so I tried the PS2 to HDMI Adapter and I no longer had this issue. I hope I don't have this problem with official component cables.
I tried GSM with different settings with the PS2 to HDMI Adapter but the resolutions actually looked even worse.

It's very expensive for me.
Do you think the no display issue when using the PS2 to HDMI adapter might be caused by the HDMI switch and the blackout issue when using component cables might be happening because they are third-party cables and so they mightn't be as good as the official ones?

I think we've already been through this conversation before.. Test with a different tv, different hdmi switch, component cables and the answer will reveal itself to you..
That's probably your settings on the PS2. Go to System Configuration and change the Component Video Out settings from RGB to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr.

But that was about the blackout issue when using the PS2 to HDMI adapter, not about the blackout issue when using third-party component cables.
Do modern TVs (like 4K/8K ones) come with component inputs? If not, I'll have to use the PS2 to HDMI adapter or a component to HDMI adapter with official component cables.

They stopped including component inputs in TVs like a decade ago, pray you'd fine one with composite inputs (if it matters to you) as some high-end models doesn't have them..
Yes.. Or you could get an OEM composite cables just for the sake of testing, if it's the tv that's faulty (or the other inputs you've tested with) it'll show no picture, if it displays properly it means the PS2 is fine, the composite cable and tv composite inputs are fine too...
I was talking about using component cables on a new TV which according to you won't have component inputs, not about this TV.
Also, I have display with third-party component cables and PS2 to HDMI adapter in the current TV but it goes away.

Same thing applies.
"It goes away"? Sounds like the connection is twitchy in both inputs, which is why i (already) recommended to test again with any other tv you might have..
The thing is, I don't have another. I didn't have this problem with the official composite cables nor I do with the HDMI cables from other devices.

I have the HD Retro Component Cable as I decided to go for that over the Sony Component Cable due to comparisons.
That, with a wireless controller and a HDD/USB, you got a beast of a console.

Do you mean HD Retrovision? And is it better than the PS2 to HDMI adapter?

Component is best, because it doesn't have to convert the signal. Converting the signal to HDMI there will always be some loss in quality unless you use a decent quality upscaler, like a RetroTink or similar.
Yep, that one.
The cheap PS2 HDMI adapters and unbranded component cable are of low quality and the picture signal even disappears for a moment.
If you just want something straight for HDMI get this: https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk...-SCART-CABLES/SONY-PLAYSTATION-HD-RAD2X-CABLE
Otherwise go with their compoment cables or official ones.

Costs more than the HD Retrovision Component Cable.
Problem with component cables now is that TVs have made it obsolete so it needs a converter.
Doesn't support 480p and instead linedoubles 240p to 480p. Not ideal, certainly not as good as proper PS2 component cables.

Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)+1 -
