    One Monitor for both PC and PS2?

    Is there a TV or monitor that can can be used with both Playstation and a PC? Or can you convert a TV or monitor to do both?

    I want to put a PC and a Playstation 2in my son's room but I don't want to have to clutter his room with so many large things. California is not known for large bedrooms!

    Looked around, but didn't see anyone else with this problem.

    Thanks all!

    Hello Kabuchan,

    I am not sure if a TV will work with a computer it may though.

    I do know that you can install a TV tuner card on the computer to get TV to come in on your pc though. You may want to check into that.

      Thanks PA,

      but I don't need TV, just the ability to use the Playstation 2.

                    Thats cool I havent looked at tv's or monitors in a long time. I didnt know they made tv's that could be used as a pc monitors as well that is cool.

                    At bit pricey but cool.

                      we found some surplus gateway 19" flat panel monitors for a little over 200$ with built in tv tuners for use in an exercise club where computer videos and
                      cable are both piped to them.

                      not near as good as hdtv but excellent for lower quality video

                      it's just a question of making enough models for the price to lower

                        It's worth it to keep his PS2 out of my family room and my bedroom! Hate the racket those games make!
