LCD ka? hmm..i doubt it. unless it's a LCD tv something like Sharp Aquos.

it's very easily actually, just take a look at the LCD, look for the cable point (yellow for video, white & red for audio). if there is, voila!

no no no , you people have it all wrong.


there's a thing called a VGA box for the ps2/xbox, (RM 200++). available at all good gaming shops everywhere.

which allows the user to plug the comp monitor to the ps2 video output.

the computer monitor is actually a better way to display the console graphics, as the ps2 supports up to 640x480 , which is better than most TV's unless you have Hi-definition tv or progressive scan enabled tv.

hey mate! thanks 4 the info. 1st time to know tat there's such thing as VGA box. but wat abt audio?? no sound ka?? :( my louya speaker uses earphone jack. but ps2 one need cable point.

yes, the VGA box SHOULD have an output plug for the usual comp speakers (phono-jack), but i believe that there are better VGA box'es with 5.1 support.

otherwise, just use the digital sound output from behind your ps2.

check out www.lik-sang.com

i think they should have some VGA box'es , but it's usually cheaper to get them from local shops.
