Hook a PS2 up to a computer monitor?

Section35

Is there any way to do it? I have a fully working PS2, and kinda wanted to hook it up.

Hiya :)

Yea, just hook it up with an HDMI cable. It's easy

 

No, realised that a PS2 doesn't have HDMI... rip

 

You'll need something like this

PS/2 is for keyboard/mouse and looks like this:

 

What? 

 

I've seen the splitter I posted work with my own eyes. The connections you are posting aren't from the PS

The adapter does have composite input but HDMI output.

What? the HDMI is the output, as it clearly says on the adapter. The signal input is the red/white/yellow cable, that converts it to the HDMI output which will create the image on your monitor.

Yes but in that particular image it has an HDMI Input. Bottom left picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HDTV-DVD-SKY-PS2-CCTV-DVR-1080P-AV-CVBS-RCA-to-HDMI-Video-Composite-Converter-DH-/171943522346

This is the thing the image links to.

Both sides of an HDMI-cable are the same so I don't get it why the input/output of the HDMI itself is so important?

None of the images on the link have the HDMI as an input.

As Yannickverc said both sides of a HDMI input and output,
