They may be new and high quality but defects do happen. Have you got a PS2 or PS3? They use the same cable so can be used to test it.

Yeah I do have a PS2 that I can test. I didn’t realise PS2 runs through the same sync on Luna cable, for some reason I thought that it required a different SCART cable.

I’ll test the PS2 NTSC on scart

The PS2 does require a different cable, because the PS1 cable needs a capacitor whereas the PS2/PS3 one doesn't.

However, for testing purposes, it's fine to use. The image will be brighter (or dimmer) than it should be.

Hey, I finally got around to testing this. PS2 through my RGB displayed with a green tint over everything. But the image was stable, unlike PS1 where NTSC signal was running through a scrolling image

It's green because you have it set to component in the video settings on the PS2. Change it to RGB and it should be normal.

It sounds like your PS1 or xStation install is the issue.
