ps2 to monitor problem

Sudden · 25 Sep 2006 at 01:09

I have a samsung 244t monitor, which does have those component inputs. I plugged in my ps2 to it, but the picture that comes is black and white and the white isn't very clear, some grey lines going through it rapidly or something.

Anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong?

Also, since my monitor doesn't have speakers, how would I connect the ps2 to some speakers? I have bose 2.1 speakers.

thanks

yea, I was just wondering how to put it in there and the monitor since the wire doesn't really split. But someoine pointed out an extenesion lead, so need to buy that.

Anyone have any idea about the video?

I mean component then. It's got blue green and red connectors. PS2 has the red, white and yellow connectors. I think the yellow one into the green one gives the black and white video. tried it in the other's and it says "Check signal"

I also have composite, and I plugged in the yellow one into that, but that doesn't work either. ''Yea, but as far as I know, monitor's arent affected by things like Pal and NTSC, or are they?

Nope, checked the ps2 settings, no such option. Some games have that option, and I tried it (on Mortal Komabt deception), but still black and white when I selected 60 hhz and 50 hz both.

I'm pretty lost here

I wouldn't mind spending on a cable if that'l make it work, but unless there's a reason this isn't, don't see much point.

I looked on google a bit as well and I think you're right queamin, I need to buy that component lead for video. thanks a lot

Now, about the audio. I can buy that extension lead so I can plug in the speakers to the subwoofer, but the woofer only has one input for a component. That is what is currently connecting it to my pc. I can buy one of those splitter things, but that's just one extra thing. How do I plug in btoh the white and the red connectors into it?

no, i'm just wondering how they would go into the sub or the speakers so i can use them.

They are Bose Companion 3 speakers. (2.1 system)
The remote has an input jack where I can connect something. the subwoofer has one component jack which is what is connecting it to my pc.

Until now, I connected it to a tv with the av lead that came with it. Only have a monitor now, so i'l buy the component one you suggeted earlier. That takes care of the video, just wondering about the audio now.
