Subjective for direct to TV, Highly recommended for Framemeister
I got to buying an official cable when I noticed 3rd party ones I bought were having "sync distortion" like issues happening, image jumping around on my Framemeister.
The official cable has no issues whatsoever with the Framemeister, perfect stable image, so for anyone who uses a PS2 via Framemeister, I highly recommend going for an official cable instead if you want a stable image.
But as far as directly into a TV or capture device, it's entirely subjective. Overall, the picture quality isn't that much different between the official cable and all 3rd party cables I tried. There's no sharpness or colour loss. The only difference I see is that the 3rd party cables had a dithering texture added over certain colours while official cable was clean.
Unless you really get bothered with dithering on colours, it really comes down to how much you're willing to spend on an official cable. If budget is a concern and not using a Framemeister, any 3rd party cable will do you perfectly fine when directly into a TV and still delivers a much better picture than Composite/Yellow AV.

Best scaler for games if you're wanting it simple
2 of 2 found this helpful Had this for a month now and can say the Framemeister is an excellent product. The build quality is not what you'd expect for a product at $500 (NZD), feels more inline with something much cheaper and feels really lightweight, but the plastic does feel sturdy enough that it won't easily crack from general use.
Also has a remote with many functions on it, but it's in Japanese, so you'd need a guide to see what each button is or find an English remote overlay sticker, which can be found on Ebay. Like the remote, the scaler menu is also in Japanese, but there's a Firmware update with English too which I highly recommend doing first, cause of the extra features added.
The scaler really shines when it comes to 240/288p and handling RGB, though it comes with a JP21 adapter for RGB, so you'd need to buy a EuroSCART adapter.
While RGB is the way to go with this device, Component also looks equally great but does require some tweaking in the scaler settings as it's quite dark and oversaturated and it will require an adapter cause the device has a D-Terminal port instead. Composite is about as you'd expect and S-Video looks surprisingly good on it, but both still have visual noise and colours bleed more in places, so don't expect it to match up to RGB and Component.
The scanlines feature is a neat addition to the many options on this scaler, but it's not something I really wanted, so I can't say much on it.
The scaler also has two HDMI inputs on it too with an option to enable Passthrough for both (straight HDMI signal with no processing), which is an excellent addition, so you won't be sacrificing any ports for other HDMI devices you have (PS3, Blu-ray player etc). I tested this up to at least a 3D signal via PS3 running 3D Blu-ray, and the 3D function hasn't been lost when connected into the Framemeister.
The one major negative I can say with this scaler is that it's slow with changing resolutions, so it can get annoying when having to wait a few seconds of black inbetween gameplay at 240/288p and menus at 480/576i.
So overall, this product is the best choice right now if you're wanting an easy solution of hooking up your older consoles to a modern display and well worth the investment if you can make it.
