Hi,

Just wondering if you can plug your PS2 into your computer moniter instead of the telly?

Only asking because my daughter wants a ps2 but doesnt want a tv in her room.

Is it possible? Do you need an adapter? Would it change the quality of the game?

Thanks,

Sam

Yes, it is possible.

I found this for you:

It allows you to connect a variety of consoles to your PC monitor.

Enjoy!

Using the family telly.......

We have enough arguments about whether we are watching MTV or Cbebbies!!!!

Got very different age group kids and just occasionally I like to watch eastenders. I know what its like to get into a game and 'have' to turn it off (Zelda on the N64 - nothing's ever beaten it for me).

Thanks for all your help.

Sam.

PS Can anyone reccomend a good (basic platform game for the ps2)

I recommend Rayman 3 or 2, but if you were looking for more basic games Gamecube have a better range.

I voted for a gamecube as well (new zelda - yay!) but no, she wants a ps2. she's currently digging out the old snes to have a try at some platformers (she's never been able to do them b4).

Bet I end up on it, havn't played the snes for years.

Thanks,

Sam

You can also get a tv tuner card. (either alone or integrated with a video card i.e. "all-in-wonder"). It basicly works the same way, except it plugs into a PCI slot, so not as much clutter.
