Dell 2005FPW and PS2

[BiggDaddi]

Has anybody hooked up a ps2 to their 2005FPW? How does it look? Best way to do it?

Played Guitar Hero this weekend and i must have it. I only have the 2005FPW for my TV viewing pleasure (Beyond TV4).

Any recomendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I used to but it looks pretty crappy to me.

Had to buy a cable that converts the red/white audio cables to a single analog plug to go into the line-in on my sound card. And of course the yellow goes to the 2005fpw.

If it's all you have it, it's okay, but if you have a real TV it looks better

Will run the audio through my Stereo receiver using TOSlink....

How about S-Video?

Never tried it but I can't imagine it looking any better or worse than using the components like I tried

Actually, composite is the yellow video cable, component is the seperate green/red/blue cables for maximum video clarity which the 2005fpw doesn't have. It goes in this order

Worst Quality: RF Connector
Subpar Quality: Composite
Decent Quality: S-Video
Good Quality: Component
Excellent Quality: HDMI and/or HD video feed and equipment.

svideo always should look better than composite. I can tell you that I use svideo on a 2005 and it's still not great though

EDIT - Coldtronius : Good answer!
