Default PS2 using a TFT??

I have got a 18" Dell TFT (a good quality one) and i was wondering if you can get a cable or something to link a FTF computer monitor to a PS2??
reason why i want to do this is because, with the PC i have the Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 and it is a mission moving them to use with my PS2, which is up in my room.

But don't expect miracles, the output resolution from the PS2 is low.

Some games are better than others, all in all, I'd stick to a good old TV

You shoulda bought the 20in one from Dell as it has s-video and composite inputs on the back (Plus it's now reduced to £365 inc vat and del)
I have my PS2 and Xbox hooked upto it and the quality is very good when you set the screen to "Aspect".It simply stretches the image maintaining the aspect ratio.I thought about one of the vga boxes though but have read mixed reviews so I bought the 2005fpw which although costing more than I intended paying did everything I wanted it to.
The screen as a PC monitor is absolutely amazing though!!! (The pic really does not do the monitor justice though!!)



Have a look at www.consoleplus.co.uk as I ordered several bits from them such as s-video and component leads and the service is excellent plus he does the vga boxes and he said to me that I could buy one and return it if I wasn't satisfied so perhaps you could do the same and see what you think

Good luck
