You dodged a bullet on that, the PS2 on the OG BC PS3s has input lag
I think it was measured at 3 frames.
My LG CX Gets No Picture From My PS2 Over HDMI: Tips/Suggestions?

Maybe ask John Linneman on twitter? I know he has a CX. Have you tried loading a 480p game to see if you get a picture (you may have to boot it blind)?
I'd personally go the OSSC route for the flexibility it provides.

The OSSC works really great on my C9, accepts tons of weird ass resolutions. I believe the CX is the same on this front but not sure. Have not ever had a problem with 480i through it.
I think getting a Retrotink 2x Pro is probably the way to go though, just very simple to use and looks great, and supports composite as well as component so you don't have to go out and buy new cables for your consoles immediately.

If you can wait, citrus3000psi is working on a native HDMI output mod for the PS2 which I expect will beat the pants off of any of the cables/boxes currently available
(He just released the PS1 version a few months ago and has posted pictures of a working prototype of the PS2 mod. Crossing my fingers for availability in 2021)

You're going to laugh, but I just DMd the My Life In Gaming Guys.
We were in touch earlier this year before GDC; we were both going to screen documentaries before COVID kicked in.
As for 480p, I've tried forcing it via GSM, then swapping the PS2s output cables from composite to component, but I can try Burnout 3 now and see? I think Burnout 3 will boot into 480p, but I'm not positive.

If you're mostly/only playing PS2 games and ALSO happen to have good soldering skills, the GBS Control is currently the best for 480i content.
Problem is, you'd need to buy all the parts and assemble it. It's not difficult, just a little more trouble than just buying an OSSC.
Otherwise, yeah, just buy an OSSC - it's awesome and pretty affordable these days.
Oh, and the OSSC Pro might be out in the next year or two and will likely handle 480i content well, but it will be significantly more expensive. Just thought I'd drop that in there.
I'm personally averse to internal motherboard mods - if your console dies, it's a lot easier to just buy another PS2 and hook it up to an upscaler than have to take out an internal mod and reinstall it.
Isn't that only for the PS2 slim? They're not support the fat model as far as I remember.
OSSC is great if you have old retro consoles. I've personally have used it with the og Xbox and PS2. The results are pretty good, the pass through is great if you simply want the original signal from the consoles. It has line double modes as well, and depending if your TV supports the resolutions, then you will be able to do 2x 4x and 5x. It has support for component and RGB scart.
Speaking of the OSSC, I remember you had to buy it directly from the person making the kits. I actually have the original DVI out version. I wouldn't mind upgrading to the HDMI one for easier sound out.
Looking on eBay, it seems everyone is selling OSSC units now? I saw one shipping from China for $120 shipped. Are these legit OSSC machines?

It's an open source project, so technically they're all legit.
As to the quality, I can't really say, as the one I have is from VGP.
Someone replied to the tweet I linked asking if it would work on the slim, and his response was that it was working on the slim before it was working on the fat. So it sounds like it should work on both

Woke up and bought the RetroTINK 2X Pro Multiformat for $119.
I was very tempted to get the OSSC, but I assume the OSSC Pro will hit in 2021, and when it does I'll upgrade from the RetroTINK if it wows me, then give my RetroTINK to a buddy.
Thanks everybody for the advice; I was thinking about this all Sunday and I'm glad to have it off my mind.

I've used it a few times with my PS2 and it certainly looks... Ok!
I probably expected too much from it, but the line doubling looks softer than I anticipated. I personally use the pass-through mode most of the time, but I still like having the doubling option.
I've played a good amount of Simpsons Hit and Run & Burnout 3, and both look MUCH better this way versus the cheap HDMI adapter I was using previously.
Good to know! with the retro tink 5x in the works i was wondering how the device worked with your tv. thank.
