ok i dont have much room in my bedroom, so i need to try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, is there any monitors that have hook ups on them that i can hook my ps2 up to and use it as a tv? or is there an adapter i can get? looking to spend around $250-300 usd.

This is a little more $ than you're talking about, but it looks like what you're looking for. You may be able to find a similar unit for a little less.

You could do something like mentioned above, or get a TV tuner.

this is probably a better solution than buying an expensive monitor or using a tv tuner. the amount of time it takes to process the info from the tuner to the mobo and into the video card will produce noticeable lag in your ps2 games. this just bypasses the whole thing and works wonderfully (i have one).

Get a TV tuner, and hook up an AV selector to it. They usually handle about three-four devices, have S-Video connectivity or composite, and cost roughly $30 at your local Radio Shack.
