Yes it would be able to play your PS2 on your monitor for your PC, but it might be choppy. I have a USB TV capture card as well, (MPEGTV), and it is pretty choppy on my laptop, haven't had a chance to set it up on the desktop yet, though.
 
I don't want it to capture, I just need it to hook up my Playstation 2 to my computer. So I can play my PS2 on my computer monitor. That's all.

How bad is the quality?
 
It was impossible to play a PS2 game using the USB TV I used to have. There was a delay between me pressing a button, and the action being displayed on screen. In saying that, it was old and only on USB 1.0 so they must be better now.

I currently us a 9600XT with video in.
 
I have tried both USB TV devices and PCI TV Tuner Cards. Both watch to play ps2, watch TV, and record PS2 or TV. I personally thought that the PCI card tv tuner was better. It wasn't choppy and the picture quality was better. You can do whatever you want though.

PCI will be much faster, as far as lag is concerned.

You will also be able to get a much better quality, cheap. đź‘Ť
 
I wouldn't recommend a AGP video card with a built in TV tuner though. Those are poor all around. Video accelleration is bad and the tv image and lag is bad.

ATI AIWs are great?
 
Ok, maybe what you tried worked well. When I tried a video card/tv tuner, about a year ago, I didn't think it worked as well as a separate TV tuner card. It was an ATI, but I am sure they have improved over the last year.
 
Ummm...what kind of card? Did you have the Drivers installed properly? Maybe faulty connections? There's a billion reasons why you had bad luck. I doubt you're the only one to experience it, but you must realize that most people have gotten it to work fine.

Yep.

AIWs have been known to be finicy, but once installed their quality and performance is simply awesome. đź‘Ť
 
It was an ATI card, on a XP Pro machine with a 3.0 GHZ processor and 512 MB of RAM. It was installed correctly with the right driver's and was seated fully into the AGP slot. I don't know what went wrong.
 
Sometimes, (actually quite often), installing certain drivers before others, or not installing certain misc. ones, will fark up certain portions of a graphics card's abilities.

Especially in the AIW's case.
