PS2 Via PC???

[GAZ_3884]

I've just invested in a doggies gonads Sony 17" HS73L LCD monitor for my pc. I have a Sony Vaio V505AP computer in a docking station. Seperately I have a shitty 15" portable TV with my PS2 hooked up. I very, very rarely watch the TV, so really it's only used for the PS2, and I don't really want to fork out for a new TV just for that, so I was wondering whether there was some way to feed it through my monitor?

The monitor has only a normal PC monitor connection (no SCART, USB, aerial jack etc to speak of) so I either need an adapter for the A/V PS2 lead so I can put in a junction box and hook it direct to the monitor OR even better, connect the PS2 into the docking station via S-Video. If I do the latter, I assume I'd need software to utilise the S-Video input.

Any thoughts???

Cheers,
Gaz

Just a quick thought, you'll have to connect it to your PC/Docking port because if you connect it directly to your monitor you won't have any sound. (Unless it's a monitor with built in speakers).

True. 2 bonus pounds to FWD!

I hook my PS2 through a Hauppage TV card, which has an S Video socket. Basic, probably not ultimate quality, but does the trick well enough.

isn't there a latency problem with that approach Julian?
