Allen1: great But the monitor 100% supports "RGB SCART", so I guess that the RGB is simply not output to the SCART.

Well, did you check out Allen1's link to VGA-to-composite-converter-box?

Normally you would only press the input-source button under the Joytech LCD to switch modes.


If you want true VGA and not composite video like Allen1 it gets more tricky... I gave it another try and this is what I found so far...

Some pinouts are on pinouts.ru now. This is to make a cable to a "normal" VGA monitor: http://pinouts.ru/Game/playstation_v...e_pinout.shtml

BUT as you can see it warns that the monitor must support syncing to the green signal, and I'm not sure VGA monitors in general support that. I've never tried to connect mine to a VGA signal, only PAL and NTSC RGB output.

The pinout is "in the other direction" from what you want, I couldn't find any other. So is the Joytech capable of receiving VGA? Well, does Playstation 2 output VGA?

Yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaySta...specifications

But does it output the same as a PC?

No: http://oneduasan.wordpress.com/2006/...rtlcd-monitor/ See also http://kernelloader.sourceforge.net/linux.html

This doesn't help you since it's still the other way... you will have to make something with cables and electronics, I think. The big question is if the timing of that resolution on your PC gfx card is the same as what the PS2 outputs. It doesn't seem so, since as you can see they use a component box to connect to a normal VGA monitor. If the video connector (both in Playstation and Joytech screen, "Multi AV" was made for a signal compatible with PC, you would only need to add the sync to the G component. And apparently it's more tricky...


Maybe someone else has done this the other way and can give more electronics advice, let's see if they can say if it's possible. Otherwise Joytech also made a 7.2" XBox screen which could maybe support what you want, check gameseek.co.uk or amazon.com.

You can also get a video card for your PC that outputs composite, but it will of course not be as sharp and nice as 640x480 RGB - same quality as with Allen1's converter box.

I am also looking for another Joytech 8". I can buy it if you want to get a real VGA LCD or if you decide it's too hard to do. But wait a few days, maybe a guru comes in and says it's possible with some electronics
