Does it have a VGA in?

[Colin]

According to the spec it has PC input.

psx dvr system; very nice

Yes I saw that. Is that always VGA? Cheers.

[Colin]

I would've thought so Jay, but you may be right to check with J0e. I've decided not to bother, seems richer sounds have loads of them though.

[Jay]

Thanks, ikobo. Just found a thread on another forum which confirms it has VGA.

I want one and I don't really know why.

[Neil]

I bought five of them last night, along with five 5-year guarantees

OK so I wasn't going to ask but why the **** have you bought 5 of these for JOe are you mental?

[Colin]

I was the same mate, but had an unusual sensible moment and decided not to!

Edit: that was to Jay, not daft works above. Though he raises a fair question.

I know it's not retro,yet,but i couldn't resist.So ,do we open her up,or keep her sealed up and flog her in a decade or so for much o mula ?

Also seems like only richer sounds are selling these ps2 tvs.

i doubt very much those ps2 TVs will be would be worth much in the future - cant actually think of any PAL hardware that has'nt depreciated in value

I bought five of them last night, along with five 5-year guarantees. Not the prettiest thing ever what with the overly-thick surround, but seems very well featured for a 22" however. My £600 1080p 26" Bravia doesn't seem so amazing anymore. Idiot woman in there wouldn't do me a discount for cash. She also said that the included remote wouldn't work with the DVD player and that I'd need to buy the PS2 remote when it isn't true.

I plan to use one as my main screen now. PC, and slim PS3 connected up to it. I also want modify it into a JPN PS2. Dunno how successful it'll be, but I've got four spares I suppose

Had the same thought about keeping one sealed and eBaying in 10 years for massive profit like the Aiwa Mega CD boombox.

From what I can gather they are some kind of import, as Sony UK seem to have zero knowledge of its existence. o_O

No discount,no for me .That 5 year warranty is also nonsense,as you get exactly what they give you for free anyway, under you consumer rights.So go back and get a refund,i would!
Good gear by the way,thinking ahead.Regarding the sony uk,it is on their site ,under support or something like that.

MONEY MONEY MONEY ,MOOONNIIEEEEEE

Dosucol I love that you have a Divers DC in shot too! Special interest in consoles built into screens? Do you have a NES TV?

Nah, just the divers and this sony shoite! Pity about not having the ps2 connected via component ,very strange move.but it would still look garbage anyway,unless it's running on a crt/ commodore 1084.

Someone will have to see if this model no. ps2 can run freemcboot ,as i think the later ps2 slims put a stop to freemcboot ?

[dosucol]

i doubt very much those ps2 TVs will be would be worth much in the future -

Just going by the previous console tvs, pc engine,supper famicom, dreamcast ,i think it's pretty much a given that they will .

[J0e Musashi]

Do any PAL PS2 games support 480p? That's the only reason I can think for it not being connected via component. There is zero difference in RGB and 480i component though, so it was prolly cheaper to manufacture this way perhaps?

I only run my JPN PS2 via component as a number of my games support 480p either natively or via triangle and X mode.

I'm going to subject one of mine to experimentation and hope to have it as a JPN unit connected via component. I have a SCPH 70000 and 90000 I can take the innards from and put into the stand. Should be doable methinks.

[Colin]

That doesn't explain why you bought five Madsashi.

yeah, but those were all jp units
