To play console games on a computer monitor? I have a 17" comp monitor laying around and I was wondering if it's a good idea to play PS2 games on it. Does this greatly reduce the life of the monitor?

 

if you can actually hook it up. computer monitors don't use the standard TV hookups... you may or maynot already know this, I don't know.

 

:dunno:

i play with my play station and watch TV on my monitor.

 

it will not hurt your monitor anymore than having your monitor plugged into your computer

 

Yeah there is a way, which leads me to my other question...


Which device did you use to hook it up with? I've seen these VGA box things on ebay, but I don't know if these things are legit. Could you give me details on where you got the adapter, or which one you used, etc. Thanks.

 

I want to know how to hook it uph:, my LCD screen is just sitting here doing nothing because my PC isn't working.

 

TV video card with external plugins

 

im planning to hook up my ps2 to my future monitor

 

im using this...

Viewsonic VB50hrtv

 

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. :thumbup:
