PC Monitor that can also be a TV for PS2?

[goodlife]

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.

I advised someone the other week to get one, it was d1bble,he ordered it so he should have it soon or already have it so you could ask his thoughts.

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.
