I am wanting to add a 10-13 or bigger moniter but do not want to pay close to 1000 for one, i was thinking of using a dell flat screen but i do not know how i can get it to hook up to my PS2, any ideas would be great

I would buy something like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051384360635&skuId=4356958&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01013

They also have a 17" model. Just get the ps2 s-video output ( I paid $20.00 for mine)

Just figure out how to hook up power to the lcd screen or use an inverter like one of these: https://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F009%5F001%5F008%5F000&Page=1&find=power%20inverter(keyword)

just make sure you match the wattage.

There are products that can convert the rgb input of the monitor to composite video. You could probably find some on ebay

I was wondering if you could use old laptop screens as well? I have a few old laptops with 14" & 15" screens that I could use but do not know what to hook the ribbon cable to or if you can even do this?
anybody have any info?
