I'm currently toying with the idea of buying a vga box and a lcd computer screen to play my games (mainly shooters) in TATE mode. The problem is, I don't know much about VGA boxes. Can you guys give me some information / point me to good faqs / tell what equipment to use and why?
In fact, my main concerns are :
(1.) what image quality can I expect, especially considering the fact that my ps2 outputs at standard TV resolution (480*640?) while current lcd screen resolutions are much higher? How is this upscaling handled?
(2.) What about NTSC/PAL? I'd like to use the same box for both, but most of the time I'll be playing NTSC games (currently through Scart...)
(3.) Also : what kind of input do VGA boxes accept? I have seen some with composite, others with SVideo, but none with RGB scart. Am I missing something here?
(4.) Is there "kit" out there that is considered significantly better (or offers better value for money) than the rest?
Thanks!
