hey, first post - I play ps2 on my monitor sometimes because my parents are strict about me playing games...anyways, i have a ypbpr vga box by sagestar, you basically get your monitor and hook it up to the computer through the vga box....this DOES lower the quality of the video because it doesnt go straight from the ps2 to the monitor but through the box...um....it's around or less than 20 dollars i think - bought it a long time ago. It's really easy to use, there's a switch on it and you can run both the computer and ps2 simultaneously, turning the vga box on will have your ps2 (also hooked up to it through a memory card slot - meaning you can only have one memory card in your ps2 while playing on your monitor) show up on hte monitor, whereas flicking it off will immediately bring up your desktop or w/e you have on your comp...hoped this helped.
