you can connect it to an LCD monitor,you don't even need a tuner card,just buy a converter
and what did you mean "is there a composite cable available?"

does your monitor have a composite and component port?glider said:
cause PS2 comes with a composite cable
you can also buy a component for 1080i games on PS2
the converter i meant,if your LCD monitor only has a VGA or DVI port then you can use a converter to convert the composite to connect to the VGA or DVI ports on ur LCD

It's the default composite AV cable that you get with your PS2. The pic that dark nemesis posted only have AV inputs and VGA connector. Whereas, Sony's proprietary AV cable has a different input which goes into the PS2.
What you need is something like this (if you have component cables for your PS2): XCM 1080P VGA BOX review by owenb321, consumer reports & videos
If you have only the composite cables, then you need this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-COMP2VGA-Console-Monitor-Converter/dp/B00006B8EI/ref=pd_sbs_misc_4
BEWARE: The video quality would be very poor using composite to VGA converters and nothing compared to connecting it to a TV.

it was the cable you get with your PS2,composite cableglider said:
you need to connect the end that goes into the TV in the converter
you can also get a SONY component cable,it is far better
I am confused now.....sorry for asking noob questions but i need to clarify:
1) should i get component cables?
2) ps2 - component cable - converter - monitor? is this the sequence?? And composite cables are bundled with the PS2, but component cables would be better?
3) And by connecting the above sequence i can have a smooth gameplay or not?
I think i am repeating the quest but i am really confused !
sorry guys !

not necessarily
you can play games on composite cable included with the PS2 too
i was just saying as composite can't do HD games on PS2 cause it can't carry the image.
component cable allows that
that sequence is correct,if you are using the composite then it will replace component in that sequence
composite cables are bundled with PS2
component cables are better as they can display HD PS2 games
yes you will have a smooth gameplay

IN THE FIRST VIDEO THE BLACK PORT is for PS2glider said:the cables shown here wont work. PS2's cables are like :
how can i plug these?? Basically i would need is VGA-svideo , to plug in the RCA components to the PS2......maybe something like this:
Am i right??
the other colored ones will go into the converter like the one below
and the below VGA will go into LCD
you donot need an Svideo
