Connecting a Console to my PC Monitor

3PointJ · 03-02-2008, 10:13 PM

Hi Guys,

Just curious whats the best way to connect a Console to a Monitor.

I have an ASUS 22'' widescreen in my bedroom (attached to a PC) and I want to hook my old PS2 up to it so I can play some old games that now get neglected due to the 360?

Are adapters from like AV to VGA an option or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I think your best way would be use the adaptors. Some people suggest going through capture cards, but I've read on more then one site that this isn't the best way to go. Apparently the lag is noticeable when you're playing games between your controller and the game

If you can, have a look in your local gaming shops, that would be the best option in case something went wrong with it. Other then then, the only real option you have is online, but that depends on your location.
