PS2 hooked up to LCD arcade monitor

<< < (2/3) > >>

JustMichael:
Please forgive the question but what about replacing the current monitor with a lcd television?  Would a larger screen fit into your cab?  Most lcd tv's I have seen accept composite, svideo, and vga signals.  It depends upon what connections are on the tv (this DOES vary amongst tvs).

u can find a cheap upscaler / deinterlacer with vga output here :

the same can be found on ebay as pcb version only ( clone ? ) .

its the best u can get for ur money ( its quality is ok , but cant be compared with 1000 bucks highend stuff ) .for ps1+2 i would recommend using a  crt !  i dont like those sony consoles on lcd-tft monitors. another option may be to force progressive vga out of the machine with a blaze style cable . sadly not all/most are vga capable like on xbox or dc. ps. with the hd box u need a component cable and switch the output to comp in the setting menue .


dont know the mayflash vga box mentioned above , but those ebay 10-30 bucks all in one vga boxes suck like .. the only mayflash im using is the
yuv > rgb box . its great for xbox 1 and ps1 , but doesnt upscale/deinterlace the ps image . its great for using old 15 k monitors via sub d port. tested it on an old microvitec atari amiga monitor with the ps2 plugged in .

How about this item which is called the "HD Game Box"?

I know that this item can be switched back and forth from VGA to component, but do you think it can be switched between VGA, component, and composite?  My goal is to have a PS2 and a Dreamcast hooked up to my cab, where all I need to do is switch from one to the other.

This unit works good, but be aware that they are on Ebay for 19 euro too. 45$ seems a lot. Another little problem: It's for old screens only. 1600x1200 or 1920x1200 are supported, but 1920x1080 not. It does not offer any 16:9 output. Wide-screen 16:9 analog is stretched to 16:10.

The output that I use on my monitor is 1024x768.  It's a 15" 4:3 LCD monitor.  Will it work good with my monitor or is there a better one on ebay for around the same price?  8)
