How do I plug my PS2 into my computer monitor?!?!?!?!?

Can I even do this? is there an adapter? i\'ve read other people talkling about it on other boards...anyway, whats up with this?

You need a special kind of hook up. Sorry but I forgot what its called. Its some kind of cable that goes into your PC.

uh...ok, thank you for telling me it exists so I dont go insane...a name and a price would be nice, i just dont feel like looking for one on the net right now PLUS the NHL playoffs are on and im watching thoes right now, later!!

actually there is a couple type of connector setups (i have not seen them for sale in my area yet though),but only one was shown to work good. i\'m sure IGN or VideoGameSpot probably has info about them...

Look at this thread:

That is one VGA adapter supposedly available now.  Don\'t forget that Sony is supposed to be releasing an official VGA cable and/or flatscreen display later this year.

cool, thanks for the info

So does it look better on my monitor?

The connections aren\'t really the same size so I use some elmer\'s glue + electrical tape.  Wrap that  in saranwrap and seal it w/epoxy.  VOILA you can play on the puter.

yes the images will be sharper and crisper, but since the resolution will be way better it will look jaggier wich isnt a good thing, i would much rather play with a 32inchs ony wega than a 19 inch comp screen anyday

yeah, too bad the ps2 dosent support such high resolutions...
i think you can get the cable from ign or best buy. i saw a few at my best buy near me:D ( i think)

why would u want 2 anyway?

I head that the PS2 wasn\'t able to output true VGA output like the DC cuz it uses the same connectors as the original ps.

First off the solution I am using doesn\'t yield the best picture by far…but it has some cool upsides. Install a TV. tuner card in your computer. I got mine at circuit city for about sixty bucks, the brand name is Hauppauge…I don’t recommend this particular unit, ATI makes one for the same price that has a better feature set as well as picture. The problem with this solution is the tuner card is actually sampling the ps2’s video signal…so it turns out crappy. The cool part is you can put the game in a resizable window and treat it like any other application…which is actually pretty cool.

Here is another solution with what I think must be a better picture.

I would love to hear from anyone who has tried this product. Good luck!

Yeah, but some of us want it for projection TV, not a monitor.

I agree with Videoholic...  I would love to be able to use the VGA adapter for my large screen TV
