Connecting a Playstation 2 to a PC monitor?

Hey Guys

 

I apologise if that is the wrong forum, if it is please let me know.

 

Is it possible to connect a PS2 to a modern monitor? As far as I know the PS2 only has the red/white/yellow connectors and an adapter to SCART, where as my main monitor (Dell U2414H) only has HDMI and DP and my secondary monitor HDMI, VGA and DVI,

 

Are there adapters for that or do I have to use an older TV?

Use something like a converter box (component video to hdmi)

(yes, the ps2 supports component cables and even some games are in 720p or 1080i)

I would highly suggest you buying a CRT TV if you can instead and use the PS2 on that.

The game I mainly want to play again is Guitar Hero. What would the graphics look like if I were to play it on a modern monitor? 

 

And while we do have an old CRT in our living room, I dont really have the desire to carry it into my room every time I want to play. Despite that there isnt realyl much space where I could put it.

If someone wants to connect ps2 to hdmi port, should he buy a S-Video to HDMI upscaler or there is another way?
