    How do I connect PS2 to an LCD Monitor?

    I have a set of component av cables for my ps2 and an lcd monitor with 1366 x 768 native resolution.

    I have been looking for a solution to hook my ps2 up to this monitor.

    What I found till now was that a VGA box can do the job for me.

    But the thing is, I am not sure which one should I go with.

    Any suggestions?

    If you have been using a vga box, please post screenshots of the display too. That would help me decide whether I should really go for a vga box or continue playing on my old sdtv.

    Thanks.

    Re: How do I connect PS2 to an LCD Monitor?

    I believe a VGA to RCA would work, i've been wanting to do it for awhile.

    I want to get rid of the TV in my room and have the Freeview and PS2 hooked up to my Monitor. However, i read somewhere that Freeview doesn't work on 1080p Monitors (through VGA), i have no idea whether this is true, but it prevented me from buying the cable.

    If anyone can shed some light on this, that'd be great.

    I know that VGA to RCA could be a solution. But I also know that a

    component cable coming out of a PS2 can give me the best picture quality.

    So I want to use those cables. But as I don't have an HDTV and don't have

    the budget either to get one, I was looking for some alternative

    solution. And luckily I came to know that there are these VGA boxes

    available, which can be used to hook up any console and can be enjoyed in

    HD resolution if you have a compatible monitor.

    The best product so far has been the XCM mega cool Vga box, which has been said to be a hardware scaler and works wonders when hooked on to a monitor capable of doing full HD.

    I am ready to get this thing, but not without being sure that it would work wonders with PS2 too.
