I currently own a HDTV which I use my PS3 for and I'm getting back into playing all the PS2 games I didn't finish. I don't want to use my PS3 for my PS1/PS2 games because it could have problems, even though the scaling is great. I was thinking of just buying some small cheap STD TV for the best picture. Unless these component cables really work for HDTV's. My HDTV can scale to 4:3, however you still can see jagged edges a lot.

no, PS2 games look great with my HDTV but I use the best settings like 16:9, and the ps2 game filters for HDTV.

i think ps1 and ps2 games look just fine through the ps3 on my 42in 1080p hdtv. Of course the ps3, wii, and 360 look great on it but i also have an NES plugged in through composite and a Saturn, Dreamcast, and SNES plugged in through s-video and they look just fine.

I didn't want to use my PS3 at all due to compatibility issues with some games.

Honestly, my Plasma looks good with the older systems. The only problem is the cutscenes look soft.
