a way to play ps2...

[Justinkoko]

BFG 7900 GT
Dell 3007wfp
PS2 with component OR composite video output..

Is there a way to display PS2 on my dell display? Like buying video tuner, new graphic card, ect...

Is there a way to do this without losing too much of IQ?

i had a msi tv@nywhere plus, and it had inputs.

i played xbox, and ps2, it looked ok, as long as i didnt stretch the window all the way.

also there was slight lag, because it was a $30 card.

here is what i would recommend:

this is just a link to the hardware. i bought mine about a year ago for 60 bucks so shop around. goes directly to your monitor so there is absolutely no lag, no screen stretching, and it has a max res of 1024. also a tv tuner.

but doesn't that only have VGA output?

my display has only ONE DVI-DUAL LINK connection...

so it has to be at least DVI

There, thats all you need (well that and some component cables). I don't know why everyone else is suggesting such crappy solutions.

The X2VGA is very good, I use one for my XBox.
Mine only has VGA connectors so I'm not sure it would be of use.

If you dont want to spend much cash and can get hold of a cheap PCI WinTV card (or if you already have TV in) this thread may help:

x2vga is looking real nice...

it does only support vga....so my question is..

will it work on my dell 30" if i get a DVI to VGA cable?

If the Dell accepts DVI-I inputs then I'd say give it a try

I dont know how you can plug the PS2 into the X2VGA.
Mine has an Xbox specific connector to take in the XBox video signal and can switch the signal from my PC or Xbox to my screen.
The VGA connectors are for PC in and Video out to the screen.
The magic picture trickery is performed only on the custom XBox input.

If they make a PS2 version then all is good.

Edit:
Aaah I see

The X2VGA 2 is the kiddy.

They do issue this warning though
Playstation 2 Most games can only support 480i mode. Therefore, only those that support 480p, 720p, or 1080i mode can work with the X2VGA 2.

get that its 300 bucks but ill work with any system to any type of monitor or TV
friend of mine uses it works great 0 lag
most of the cheaper ones will encure some some lag or interpolat to do the upscan
ones like the one i linked actuly do some proscessing on it the vid and you get a much better image out of it

I picked up some PS2 S-Video cables at Gamecrazy and they work fine for the PS2. Burnout Revenge looks great on my Dell 2005FPW. You'll need to get some extra gear if you want audio, though.
