Why would someone bother to find a way to connect to a PC monitor say that is about 19" instead of straight to a TV say that is 27"?

why can\'t u understand that some people would rather quality over picture size.

Did you read the whole thing or cored or my previous posts? Because on my next paragraph I wrote:

Its because Computer Monitor picture quality is definately better than SDTV, such as much more higher resolution, 24 bits RGB, and non interlaced (progressive scan) than can go higher than 60 Hz...

I was explaining to Coredweller on his post:

The guy asked a simple question. Why not answer the simple question like soulgrind and I did, instead of all the BS? I can imagine what would happen if someone came to you asking for the nearest gas station. You\'d reply "Why do you want to buy gasoline? You should be taking a helicopter instead of driving that car!"

Maybe his priority is not quality, but convenience.

Although i do admit i made my 2nd post in this thread rather long and complicated. I was trying to explain to Cored on my next post (4th post in this thread) that maybe the thread starter wanted picture quality, and i was trying to explain to cored that his method is not convenient compare to mine hooking straight up to a tv, cored thought your method of "hooking up your ps2 to the computer monitor" is not convenient for "quality"....

Nevermind.:o

On my 2nd post before you even post, I was explaining to Cored something....

How rude of you.
And looks who is talking. The link you posted on support s-video and composite video input. No component video input, although it does have RGB input which i believe its VGA. But, PS2 don\'t support VGA.

So, you are better of using component video input for analog tv or better use hdtv with component video input. In my opinion, its better and easier. Many HDTV support 480p, and you can enable ps2 games progressive scan such as 480p or uses the tv progressive scan if the game doesn\'t support it........

............Beside, if you really wanted to hook it up to a computer monitor.

Buy a cable that have the "PS2 AV multi out" and RGB VGA IN. A direct feed, no need for conversion from Composite, S-Video, or component...Also, remember to switch to from component to RGB on the ps2 main menu.

Sometimes this cable have the adapter where you can connect analog audio in for sound so you canuse the PC speakers...

I can see complication like what about the PC? If you hook up the ps2 to the computer monitor, what about the computer itself? meaning, you have to switch back and forth when you want to use the pc or the ps2...

So, again, in my opinion, hooking up the ps2 to your SDTV via component (if your tv have one) is good enough even though its only interlaced or using the s-video cable gives out pretty decent picture and it seperate the color and say good bye to color smear...

Original poster asked how to connect a PS2 to his computer monitor. You didn\'t answer his question, and told him to connect it to his tv instead. End of story.

Cored,

whatever. Again you are very wrong when you said "Maybe his priority is not quality, but convenience."

Because that lines contradict with how you are trying to help the topic starter. Because connecting a direct feed to the PC monitor is "more easy" or more convenient than your method that you have to connect composite or s-video input to your suggested "external box" that convert to VGA and to the PC, and not only does your method gives out crappier quality, but also "inconvenient" in comparison to my suggestion that i said on my 2nd post which is "PS2 AV multi out to PC VGA RGB". *sigh*.

and Soulgrind live in Australia, so the connections are different than America (referring to the TV)....

I tried to help the poster by answering his question. That is something you did not do.

You have no idea what is convenient for him since you don\'t know his setup. Everything you\'ve posted is based on assumptions.

For example: I myself have a rear projection TV that accepts component video inputs, and that\'s how I usually use my PS2. HOWEVER, I would like to connect a 2nd PS2 to my computer monitor so I can use the PS2 in my room instead of in the living where I would be disturbed by my roommate preparing meals in the adjoining kitchen. THEREFORE for me, finding a way to connect the PS2 to my pc monitor would be CONVENIENT. The original poster in this thread may have a similar situation.

I would never hire you for a job because you can\'t follow instructions, and you can\'t answer a simple question. Making assumptions about his motivation in asking the question is a waste of time.

I guess someone is having trouble admitting he is wrong.

The reason why I ask him why that is because I curious and wanted to help. If he said he wanted to get the best picture possible and his tv doesn\'t have s-video or component video or whatever. Then i would have told him to get this cable that connect the ps2 to the pc monitor direct feed.

BTW, you said you connect your 2nd ps2 to your pc monitor. So, that might means you have two pc monitors? One hook up for ps2 and one hook up to a pc? Or do you use that external av cable that you linked on your fist post?

What am I wrong about? :rolleyes: A: nothing.

BTW, I suggest you take a writing course or something. Your posts are difficult to read because of all your grammatical errors.

Paul2 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 03, 2005, 12:56:28 PM »

Yeah, my grammar suck. My English is not that good.

Ok, i got the adapter. It works with most games. It works fine with progressive enabled games. Tekken4 looks UNREAL when using it.

But it has a downside, you can\'t view anything thats not Progressive scan enabled. I can\'t view my HDloader list at all. So basically its only good for dvd/cd games. I have to use my pc to view the HDloader list, select a game that has progressive scan, enable it. Then using the vga switch box then change over to the ps2. Pretty crappy really.

composite is the nastiest connection you could possibley use. when I bought my ps2 and used composite before i got the component cables I played monster hunter on my 32" Sony Flat screen TV, I couldnt even read the name of the caracter above the players heads, it was terrible. When I hooked up my component cables I couls clearly read the names without effort, and everything was 100x sharper.

hooking a monitor up to a ps2 is gonna look as good as component.

Ain\'t that the truth. If my analog tv have component video input, I would have bought one long time ago. Oh well. but the quality isn\'t that bad on my tv though. I am going to hold out till i see a 1080p 26" hdtv so I can replace the current 20" NTSC TV I am using right now. I can imagine playing next generation videogames in 1080p on a 1080p hdtv.

You mean after when coredweller called me nimrod?

In addition to chilling out, you also need to learn to answer a question, instead of replying "why would you want to do that?"
