How to Hook Up PS2 to Viewsonic HDTV

The PlayStation 2 was released before high-definition took over the television market. It came with a composite AV cable for standard-definition video. However, the PS2 is capable of outputting 480p video from compatible games and DVDs with the addition of a composite AV cable. This cable will give your PS2 better image quality along with making it more compatible with HDTVs, such as those that Viewsonic manufactures.
