why only DC has a VGA adapter? (why PS2 doesnt have one?)

takwu · December 13th, 2001

The TV I have in my room is over 10 years old and have serious color problems (adjustments dont help much, just a little, and I do it everday).

And I'm getting a PS2 soon (i've got a *deal*)

So I'd really like to use my 17" monitor instead of the dying TV. But afaik, only the DC ever has a direct adapter for VGA.

Why?? Why is it so hard for Sony to make something like that?

well, there are ps2 adapters but I heard their picture isnt as good...I've never seen them in action though.

but I agree, the monitor picture is a lot better.

PS2 looks like CRAP on VGA display

the DC looks great because they were made to look great that way

however, the way PS2 games are made, they either look god awful or not really that good on VGA, so you really won't be happy with it or without it...

hmm interesting

yeah those VGA boxes are not official. Sony never made one themselves, thus my original question.

so Pdaimaoh, which product was used to connect the PS2 to VGA which "looks like CRAP"?
I'd want to stay away from that one...
