PS2 with Monitor Display?

[eshban]

Hi everybody,

Please answer my questions as I am totally new to games and want to buy PS2.

1. Can I use my Monitor with PS2?
2. Is it OK to use the same Monitor with my PC and with PS2?
3. Is there a way to Switch the display between my Monitor and PS2? as I don't want to switch the cables again and again. So, Is there any device available to Switch the display between monitor and the PS2?


Thanks in advance.

i think most TV boxes for PC's allow that, my cousin has a setup like that, he runs his ps2 and pc on the same monitor via a TV tuner box i think

well get a nice VGA cable for the PS2 other wise PS2 graphics on the moni r gonna suck..
I once saw a VGA cable for PS2 that allowed progressive scan now that is some thing really cool try gettin that...
i think it was available on playasia..
