PS2 -> VGA ( LCD Monitor)

[ViolentJ]

Is this what I need to connect a Playstation 2 to a PC LCD monitor?

If so, what would the quality be like?

I currently use an SVGA box but the quality is appalling.

tbh with a HD monitor youll be getting s**t res's whether you like it or not.

 

[ViolentJ]

It's not HD, it's a iiyama 17" PC screen max res 1024x768

With my SVGA box, playing Colin Mcrae 2005, it looks like it's got a continous heat ripple affect on it

 

[McBunny]

1024x768 is a 'hd' resolution

 

[ViolentJ]

is it? lol

Even when I turn it down to 640x480 it's still shite.

 

[McBunny]

most plasmas only display 1024x768

 

[ViolentJ]

So, is it worth me getting that cable or am I likely to see no difference from the crap my svga box is outputting?

I do have an LCD TV that displays just fine, but that's only a 15" and I fancied using my spare 17" LCD monitor instead.

It's always going to look w**k on a pc monitor. I plug mine into the "s-video in" on my monitor and it looks pretty cack

I have a 21" HD LCD monitor, which a ps3 would look good on, but I have no ps3

 

[ViolentJ]

I've gone back to my 15" LCD TV, quality isn't the same as a normal TV but better than the 17" LCD Monitor, also means I can plug my digi sender back in and get sky on it

Still have my 22" Widescreen LCD for my pc

Anyone know if that cable would work then?

 

[Adam K]

no it won't.

 

[Gumby]

It'll work, but it won't stop it looking shite

 

[AhmedRSi]

Before, I had an ati all in wonder card so i just plugged in my ps2 from video in on the tv tuner functions. It looked pretty cack but not too bad... it was bearable. Will this cable be worse than that?

 

[Adam K]

It'll work, but it won't stop it looking s**te

what are you on about?

that cable is vga to rca.

that means it takes the signal from your graphics card and sends it to your tv.

it doesn't work the other way round.
