Hello everyone.
I have this 21 inch LCD monitor and I was wondering what tools I would need to be able to connect my PS2 to my monitor.
Thanks for the help.

You can also use a basic RCA to VGA adapter. If you want to use a DVI cable instead of a VGA, it will probably get a little pricier. You would also need a way to play the audio coming off of your PS2 wether it be using your PC or home audio system.

i have a question

i have an old laptop computer with an LCD Monitor. The Laptop is of no use to me anymore.

i don't know if it is possible, but is there any way to connect the laptop monitor to my ps2 so that i can play my games on it.

the monitor has some wires that come out the bottom of it (about 7 of them) and which go to a connector that used to connect into the laptop.

is ther any way to join these wires to a PS2 A/V cable.

thanks in advance

It is probably possible, but you need to get a hold of a diagram for that monitor. You would also need to find a way to power it up. Not only that, but you would need to somehow keep it safe.

It doesn't take very much to crack on of those screens. Older screen also use cold cathods to light up their screens and those are extremely fragile on laptops.

It could be a nice project, but might also be more trouble than it's worth.
