I am trying to connect the above to my monitor.

At the moment i have to keep disconnecting the Ps2 or the dvd player to watch the other which at the mo is ok but i am planning to fix the monitor to the wall so i dont want to have to take the monitor off the wall every time i want to watch a dvd. I have lost the book that came with the monitor so i dont know what some of the connections are.

(see pic to see connections)My computer is attached ok,now my ps2/dvd are connected by Audio L R and video. at the back of my dvd player there is a s-video,coaxiel,Audio L R,Video,Scart,5.1 surrond sound connections. Is it possibly to connect both at the same time.

as far as i know you can use y spliters but you will lose some quality what i would suggest is converting your av cables into scart connectors you should have recieved one with the p2 but their quiet cheep (maplins) then buy a scart switcher which allows you to connect several scart sockets into one input most of these are manual which means you press a button to switch between inputs but at least you want have to change your cables around..
