How to Connect From PS2 to a Computer

The Sony Playstation 2, much like other sixth-generation consoles, has the ability to display some of its games in HD resolutions, such as 720p. In the event that you wish to see this kind of display, but do not have an HD television, you may be able to use your computer's monitor to display those resolutions. If you wish to connect your PS2 to a computer monitor, the process is simple as long as you have the right equipment.
