I am moving home next week and as a treat have cancelled my Sky package as I now watch all the sports fixtures in the pub. In reality I would like to leave the TV's as well but..........

I need it to play the PS2.

Is there anything on the market which I can use instead?

You could also buy the XGA Theater from scancom.com - it lets you play any console games through your monitor, and also TV! It also has speaker and headphone adverts.

The Joytech screen is 94.99 and is due to be released on 31.1.03. It's basically the same width as the PS2 with the speakers and the actual TFT screen is 7.2 inches.

You can also watch your dvd's using it as well - who needs tele's ?

The portable screen for the PS2 looks good and is about inch and half bigger than the Gamecube version for the same price !!

If you have a PC at home then you can connect it to the PS2 by way of a VGA box. SR have one from Blaze on sale. It will give a slightly better picture than a standard TV alledgedly. I am considering one for my Study at home as I am getting a new 19" monitor and fancy using it but do not want to have to change cables every five minutes
