Can I hook up my DVI monitor to display video for my PS2?

[RedsFanGeoff]

I have an LG 19" LCD Display. It has a VGA and DVI-D input. Right now I have my LCD hooked up via my ti 4600 video card via DVI plug. I want to be able to hook up my ps2 maybe via component input to my LCD. I know of the technology of VIVO. I was interested in the MSI 6600GT as my upgrade path for a new video card, but I don't have the money for that right now. I read it has VIVO, which in my understanding means I would plug a component video device via a special cable that comes with the package, and that the card can display that image on my computer and I can use my LG LCD to play ps2, xbox, etc. etc.

I want to know if someone knows of what product to get w/o having to spend a lot of money to just simply hook up my monitor to my ps2 via compenent video.

Thanks in advance for your responses...

There are devices available that can convert VGA/DVI signals to composite or s-video and backwards. Personally, I haven't got any experience with such devices, so I don't know which one you should take. Wait for the others' opinion.

This post is just to let you know that it's not impossible what you're trying to achieve.

Okay, never mind about the others. Guess I'll give a hand here. I'm still not familiar with this kinda stuff, though, mind you.

Anyway, you should find something like this (or, possibly, use this): http://www2.dvigear.com/vitodvisc.html

You should make sure that the DVI connector is compatible with your LCD, as there are DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-I. More info here: http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info_cond.html

Hopefully I was of any help here.
