Old Systems on My HD Monitor

[Flak]

Search function is giving me nothing on this. I picked up a 27" 1080p monitor a while back and the only connection it has are VGA and HDMI. Is there any way I can hook up a PS1, PS2, GameCube etc. to it?

They make VGA converter boxes, but I think good ones are very expensive...it might even be a better value to just get a backwards compatible PS3 and a Wii for PS1, PS2, and Gamecube games.

The Wii VGA cable only displays games that support 480p, which excludes the vast majority of Gamecube games. A BC PS3 is expensive if you dont already have one.

Just get a SDTV for $50 off craigslist or something and put it in a different room.

Use either:

S-Video to VGA converter:

I bought this and the picture quality looks like ass. It's mostly black but what does come through looks really washed out in only the most basic colors. Any way to fix this?

Fix'd.

Funny thing is, more GC games play in 480p than Wii games.

Here is what I use to play my Dreamcast on my HDTV. It's pricey, but man, the picture is unsurpassed. It makes it look like the Dreamcast was MADE for HD.

Ok, the problem was as simple as unplugging the HDMI cable from my Xbox 360. Now I just need to play with hue, saturation and all that bullshit.
