See the post beneath you. Progressive scan and interlaced are two huge differences. And yes, the game looks MUCH better in 480p. 480p or progressive scan means EVERY line of resolution on the tv is displaying at once. 480i or interlaced means EVER OTHER line of resolution is displaying at one given time which is not as good a picture. This is basic high def tv talk and should be known when discussing high def tv's.

It will only work if your PS2 is hooked up via component cables and you have changed your settings on both your PS2 config as well as Socom itself (480p and widescreen on). If you say you can't tell a difference between the two you are either lying, have it hooked up wrong or your TV is garbage. There is an extremely noticeable difference running the game at 480p, on widescreen, with acomponent connection on a HDTV. I have experienced it first hand and it is definitely worth it.
lol..hooked up wrong umm..no not really not that hard to hook it up. my tv is garbage?...ok friend lets stick to the topic on hand here.

1.ps2 does not support dolby..
2.ps2 has an optical port which it does not support
3.ps2 480p on widescreen with component cables "no difference" "check your eyes"
4.ps2 does not support hdtv.
5.you're not getting the full potenial of your lcd with a ps2 with 480p..

So in other words, if you have a HDTV, but no component cables (just regular cables) you can't use the 480p configuration for Socom?

yeah...there is a difference...my eye sight is just fine.

no one said you were getting the full potential from from your lcd with a ps2...no one...not any where in this thread. Socom 3 and combined assault have settings in the options for 480p. it does look better set that way with component cables.

No you can't. The 480p option only works with component connection. If you read the yes/no box when the game first comes on after you have set the game to progressive scan you will realize this. It must be hooked upo via compnent for it to work in progressive scan. Daz you obviously have no clue regarding HDTV or their performance with the PS2 so please quit leading people astray with your misinformation. Mind you, I said "please." And didn't you say there is no picture difference and now you say it will give you a sharper, cleaner look, lol.

I play SOCOM in progressive scan and widescreen on my 27" LCD TV. There's definitely a difference from 4:3 to 16:9. Try to turn the constrast, saturation, and sharpness up. Turn down the brightness. That makes for a better picture.

hey nits when was the ps2 released?..what about 7 yrs ago was lcd's around then no. the hardware used in the ps2 was intented for a standard tv.so your gonna get what the ps2. can handle with an lcd 480. the hardware being used today in xbox360.ps3. etc. are built for an lcd 1080i. so if your ok with playing socom on a lcd with 480p. rather then using the full potential of the tv. then you wasted your money buddy and yes i did say sharper and cleaner.cause that's what the cables do. so i'll enjoy using my 1080i because that's what i bought the tv for so i'm done with you run along and play your 480p. i suggest you play a xbox 360 game on 1080i and then your socom on 480p. and tell me how good socom looks again.

Man...save your breath...daz really has no clue. The settings are in the socom 3 and combined assault games which aren't that old. Furthermore... no one said it would look better than an xbox 360 or ps3 hooked up to the same tv...duh. In the mean time...if you have the tv...the game and the cables...why not play it wide screen 480p. It really does look great. If the original poster wants to believe daz...thats fine. We told him the truth and thats good enough for me...

On a different note it's nice to see an informed post.

later man...
