Is there a LCD monitor which can connect to a PS2?

I want to buy an LCD monitor, preferably 21 inch or 22 inch which has connectors for PS2 and preferably PS3 also (though the latter is not important).
I already have a Z-5500 speakers which are said to be the best in pc speakers, I also would like to get an LCD monitor which will make it really cool to play games on with my PS2.
Thanks.

Which cables on the PS2 are you using? Composite or Component?

If you're using the component cables, any LCD TV will do the trick. If you're using composite, it'll look like crap. For the PS3, HDMI is what you need. As you're asking about a monitor, it looks like you want a computer screen out of it, too.


I don't have time to look for a best price here, so I'm just going to give you an example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889206041

This has a VGA input for your computer (Okay, this one isn't ideal, but will work OK), an HDMI input for the PS3, and a component input for your PS2.

Here's a component cable for the PS2 but I wouldn't pay $50 for one.

Monoprice MAY have one but I'm running out the door now so I can't check:

If you don't have the component cables for the PS2, and still want to use it on a new LCD, you will need to find an LCD with a composite input - the little yellow plug by itself. Again, you'll just need to look through TV specs - and you'll probably need something marketed as a TV - anything that is a computer monitor will have a DVI input, but may not have anything else, or may only have HDMI in addition to it. They won't have the older analog composite connector for sure, and chances of them having component are almost nil.

Yes, there is the Joytech 8" Digital LCD monitor for about $130.00, Zenith 5" flip up screen for $69.00 and the Game Glass 7" LCD monitor to name three. You can get the Game Glass for $20.00 at EB Games or Gamesstop. Check my source links as well! But if you're just looking for a regular LCD Monitor, just make sure it has Audio/Video RCA Jacks and you should be fine. Something like the: Westinghouse Digital Electronics
L2410NM 24" LCD Monitor 1920x1200
