Is there an external display that I can use for both my Powerbook and my PS2? Or maybe some kinda tv? Sorry, I don't know much about connecting stuff. Any help is highly appreciated.

You can connect your PowerBook to virtually any modern LCD / LCD-TV via a DVI connection.

Don't know much about the PSP.

it might be more than you want to spend, buy you can buy an EyeTV (i think thats what its called) from ATI, and it lets you plug in anything that uses rca connecters to a computer and use the screen to display and the computer's speakers for sound. It a pretty cool little box, they had one at mac world hooked up to an xbox and there was no lag what soever using the mac's screen as a dispaly.

I have a Dell 2001FP and it's great. I have my desktop, laptop, and PS2 hooked up to it. I got an s-video cable for my PS2 and it looks great. The 2001FP has 4 inputs, so connecting things is easy. Hope that helps.
