I was playing around with my Philips CM8833 monitor for my Amiga and thought I would try it with my PS2 through the Philips rather than my 28" Toshiba.
It's amazing, I can't believe the crispness of the image, now before anyone states the obvious, yes it's only a small screen compared to the TV, but it's well worth it, to see MGS2 demo alone is &^%$£!!!
It's like playing a new game, you appreciate things much more and Onimusha - WOW!!
Anyone else tried?
he, he!
I actually don't have found the way to connect my GBA to one TV :laugh
It involes a screwdriver, a BIG hammer, some wires and Selotape, I suggest you DON'T try it though:laughing

Why didn't I think of this before! Thanks, Sniper, now I can't wait to get home from work :)
If you connect your PS2 thru RGB with the miggy monitor, it SURE would be a huge increase in image quality. Anyone with a SCART plug can build a SCART-to-1084 (or similar) interface.
RCK, someone's been planning to do such a device... or so i heard :)

If you purchase a good quality scart lead for the PS2, one with the S-VIDEO connection half way up the cable, you can have the PS2 running simultaneously on the Amiga monitor and the TV. Just plug the S-VIDEO connector into the back of the monitor~!!
Enjoy a new quality!!

I hooked my VCR up to my Amiga monitor (1084S) several tears ago and the picture quality was stunning!

Sorry...inside joke. It just means that I am pining and whining for my monitor to get here from my old home. I was assured a few days ago that it was on its way, but I've heard that song and dance before, so the tears are still falling.
Just pretend it's an old Stones song or something...
Bought Onimusha the other day, and was conciderably impressed, I haven't got a monitor to try out what you said though Sniper5*:( But it still looks amazing though Scart on my Wega TV;)
Before I get any comments form a certain someone on this board (You know who you are:p) it plays great to, shame it's so short (But then again all the Resident Evil games were short)
BTW GT3 comes out on July 20th for those who are interested and live in Blighty land:D

Mwahaha, I think that's me :D Anyway, you won't get a better picture quality in a miggy monitor if you are using SCART on a Wega... SCART is like RGB, so it's the BEST output quality you can get from any machine.
SCART TVs are brill.
.... PS2 sucks.. there, I had to say it :) Now, methinks that I will have to eventually get one, since Sega seems to be pulling ice shit for it. We'll see...
... It was you:p
Sega's stuff for it is all s$#t so far because none of it is their own work (Acclaim pronounced F%$k up a completly brilliant game, CRAZY TAXI, with a p#$s poor conversion), later this year (Virtua Fighter 4 anyone:D) this all should change:D
Sega is Dead:eek
Long live SEGA:cheese
I didn't know Acclaim converted Crazy Taxi.. why on earth?? Whatevr, I was talking about Sega-produced stuff, of course
Their first game will be Virtua Fighter 4 and it's supposed to come out in August or there abouts.
