As some of you regulars might know, I am getting a Widescreen on Friday, primarily for connecting it to the PS2 and play PS2 games. There is not much else I will be using it for, which is why I am not paying as much as it would cost for a Sony Wega Widescreen.
It is a 28" Toshiba, but is it worth it, and will games on the PS2 be cut off at the sides, or will it match up with the Screen Layout. I know about the PS2 System Config. screen for 19:1 (Or something like that!) but does it make any difference to game playing???
I was also wondering about what cable to use? As I only want to play games, is RGB the best way to go about it, or is S-Video the best? On my DVD Player S-Video is the best, and wondered if it is worth me getting a Monster Gamelink 300 (S-Video)???

Interesting question.... I've got a 32" Sony, but I predominantly bought it for film watching last year - the fact that I was planning to get a PS2 at some point didn't come into it. So for playing widescreen DVDs on your PS2, I'd say go for it. Films like The Matrix and Dark City look pretty awesome!
As for games, well you get a bigger screen (and a more 'arcade' feel), but it doesn't affect the gameplay. You shouldn't lose anything off screen (unless you use a 'zoom' mode for example).
RGB SCART is supposedly the best for game play only, but then you get the green screen DVD problem. If that's a problem, go for an S-Video.
