u can link your ps2 too a pc. But u have to get 3rd party hardware. you could probably buy Composite too VGA boxes. I\'ve seen them for DC (used on a dc, Not made for dc). So they would work the same for ps2.

Yes there is.

You could buy a "VGA" box.

Like this one, the RedAnt Playstation2 VGA Box.

There are several other out there made by different companies.
You could get a capture card. But this requires you to own a PC and not just a monitor :)

I meant to be able to plug it into the back of the monitor to play regular games, as an alternative to the TV.
