Is this Component to HDMI converter enough to see my ps2 output on my computer monitor?

Asked by Thammuz (9287points) April 12th, 2010

Will this adapter be enough?
Or, more precisely, is converting the signal the only thing i need to do? Are there any counterindications for this method?

I’ve looked for answers on this method already and nobody seems to have asked this, probably because most people who have an HDMI capable device usually have it as a TV screen, mine is, however, my pc monitor, which doesn’t have any analog inputs making HDMI or VGA/DVI my only options.

And since a proper VGA adapter is a pain in the ass to build and find out compatibility for, i’ve decided that i’d rather pay up.

Also: will linking this to a 16:9 monitor mean the image will result stretched? (i assume so, but i hope not).

Basically, that is what you need to convert the video from the PS2 analog signal to your PC Monitor’s digital screen via HDMI. Depending on your monitor’s specifications, you may be able to make adjustments for a 4:3 resolution in HDMI mode that will show pillars at both ends of the screen representing the unused pixels.

@njnyjobs ok then.

I was unsure because for other kinds of adapters (home made VGA/DVI ones if i recall) some people said particular software (avaible only on modded consoles) was needed.

GA and thank you very much.
