Are there any TV/Monitor products on the market that can act both as a standard Television and a PC monitor?

Wanted not for watching TV, but because my Kids each have a Playstation 2 and a PC in their bedrooms and having 2 screens is a pain in the jacksy.

Thanks for these.

The boxes that enable you to use existing computer monitors as a TV sound like good little devices. Anyone used them before? Are they any good?

I've never used them, only heard of them.
There is a review here...
www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/avertvbox.php
but that model has now been revised to version 3...
www.averm.co.uk/avermedia/products/tvtuner_AVerTV_box3.html
which supports 1024x768 (allegedly)
sorry I can't be of any more help.

How about a TV card with Video input or a VGA card with TV input like the ATI ALL in Wonder Cards? Plug the PS2 into the PC and play PS2 in a window or full screen? Does mean you have to have the PC on to play the PS2 tho.
