Hay guyz.
Just bought a PS2. Unfortunately I kind of forgot that my family hogs the 2 TVs in the house. So I decided to play on my PC instead.

Thinking of buying either a VGA Box or TV Tuner card. Which would be the better choice? Right now I'm going for the Asus My Cinema-P7131 Dual PCI TV&FM TV Tuner Card (RM200).
Any other suggestions?

For those who have bad quality:
Stop using the crappy RWY composite cables, buy an S-Video cable.
Makes everything 100% better.

Works for me.

Someone wanted some PS2 screens, so here you go.

Oops, sorry for not replying for a while. Didn't go to this part of the forum

All you need to play PS2 on your PC monitor is a TV Tuner Card/VGA box.
Personally I used a TV Tuner Card, its a Pixelview. Has a Philips Tuner and a Conexant chipset, which my friend said is among the ones with good quality.
Dunno about VGA boxes, so I can't comment on that.

Oh, and don't cheap out by buying a cheapass tuner card. If it uses software compression as opposed to hardware compression, you will get delays in input, generally making games unplayable.

EDIT: Forgot to mention price. My Pixelview card was 180bux, but you should be able to get a newer and more compact one (Same maker, newer design I suppose) for only 130bux if I'm not mistaken. You only lose out on the remote control, but honestly who needs that.
