Adapter to connect Monitor to PC and PS2?
Thread Solved |
Hi there, hope someone can help, I was just wondering WHERE it is possible to get such an adapter (i think they are VGA adapters) as I have mentioned above, one that will at least connect ur monitor to your PS2 so that you can use it as TV. I gather that there are adapters that will allow you to do this AND still have your CPU connected to your monitor at the same time, but I've only seen one online and I'm not sure as to its quality.. so is there anyone with some experience that can advise? What implications will it have (if any) on the screen quality?
Also I think the only other alternative to not getting an adapter is a TV PCI card? Is this strictly true, and can a PS2 be connected to a TV card?

Hey Shaft thanks for that. However I also found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tuner-Multi-.../dp/B0009V9DYO
and now I'm slightly confused because I can't tell if they both perform the same kind of function?? :-s Don't know if it matters that the one I found is on Amazon UK, and your link is for the US (I'm in the UK)... so yeah, anymore thoughts please?

Not sure where you could get one in the UK, but I used to do that (with an xbox instead) using an all in wonder card. I could play the game in a seperate window on my desktop.
But if you don't want to replace your graphics card, you could get a tv tuner card. Plug the ps2 into the card and you're good to go.
The problem was that it was a bit blurry though, (I had an older 9800 AIW) Dunno if the newer ones would make it look nicer or not.

Ah right K. Yea I was thinking about a TV card, but then don't they have just the one socket against the PS2's 3 plugs (red, white and yellow)? I mean in my experience you may use just two of the three and it'll work just fine, but surely using the one would just be pushing it, no?

yellow = video
red/white = audio (1=mono 2=stereo)
i have a hauppage capture card. I plug the PS2's yellow plug into it and then (using a ps2 adapter i got with an accesory kit) plug in a standard 3.5mm male-male cable and slot that into my pcs linein port
