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.
