Topic: How to get ps2 working on hdmi monitor

I am looking to get my PS2 slimline working on a hdmi monitor (Dell UltraSharp). I have tried a PS2 to HDMI adapter, and no display shows (even after trying to change the PS2 display settings blind). I have now tried a RCA to HDMI adapter, and it registers the display but with a blue screen saying 'no signal'.

I have tried the same wires and RCA to HDMI adapter on a PS1, and this shows fine.

Is there a reason why the PS2 wont be displaying?
Is there an easy fix for this with the adapters I have?
Has anyone had similar problems?

Thanks

@Watts I don't know how helpful this is but I tried playing GameCube games on a 4K monitor using one of those Wii2HDMI things. Apart from the adapter being a piece of trash anyway, it would only show Wii games and I'd get a signal error when I tried GameCube games.

It turned out the 4K monitor didn't support a low enough resolution to play the GameCube games (no upscaler in the adapter) and they were PAL games so I don't think they had the 480p stuff that the NTSC ones had. Anyway, maybe your monitor doesn't support it. Unfortunately I never could get it to work

@Watts
I only use PS3 component cable for both my PS2 Slim Japan and PS2 Fat USA on HD TV.
And the result was pretty good.

@Anti-Matter And that helps the OP how??? He wasn't asking about a tv he was asking about a monitor.

@ralphdibny Yes it sounds like it must be the monitor not supporting the low res. I don't know if theres a similar cheap adapter which could get it to work on the same monitor.

Ideally I would like it to work on that monitor for ease in the office (and not having to buy any new displays).

@Anti-Matter have you got a link to which cable this would be please for me to investigate more. Would it still need to be combined with an adapter of sorts?

@Watts
No need adapter.
Just find PS3 component cable with 5 plugs (RGB for picture + RW for audio), plug in on your PS2 to your HD TV and voila !
Make sure your HD TV have component cable slot.

@Anti-Matter It’s a monitor he has. Like a computer monitor. That’s the problem, he’s trying to connect it to that, not a TV. Which can be done, he’s just having issues.

@nessisonett Dont waste your breath on my he never listens. He never reads the what people are asking and just posts what he thinks people should do even though it's not what they are asking.

@Watts PS2 is a different output resolution so this could be an issue, best bet is to get a RAD2X cable when available as this can increase the signal resolution making it easier for modern screens to display
