Connecting my PS2 and Gamecube to my LCD

Any ideas how? My google skills are weak today.

My LCD has two DVI inputs, component and S-Video, but on the latter two it looks pants.

Of course its rendering in 640x480 for TV, but it there a way to at least get a component - DVI converter, or a box that can clean up the image for me?

I think component is the best quality you can get out of those consoles, converting it to DVI won't do squat.

You can buy a cable for the GC which plugs into the digital AV port and has a standard VGA connector on the end for your monitor, obviously it only works with games that support progressive scan, however the picture quality is supposed to be fantastic. You do however get ghosting in some games and its best to use them on a CRT...

It is made by 'Ahead' and is basicaly a modded nintendo cable.

Edit, if the LCD has component I guess you could just buy the nintendo component cable

Again a component cable for the PS2 should be the way to go. You can always try a VGA box... and be horrified at how crappy it looks in comparison

Ack typo of Dooooom!

I meant to say Composite :s The usual yella you get with the red and white audio leads.

If I had component, I wouldn't need a thread

component on gc is the best way, its not a fantastic picture even if the game uses prog scan but it is a lot lot better than composite or rgb on an lcd.
