I really dunno, as it doesn't specify what the "analog" connections are, but I'd assume it's VGA, so I would hazard a "No", that it wouldn't work with it.

[edit]
Looked at the close up pic of the connections on the monitor, so can say now no it won't work, as there are only DVI and VGA connections, you would need Composite, Scart or Component to use the Wii through it.

Is there an adaptor i could buy to connect it up?

anyone using this monitor with a playstation 2 that can advise if this is possible?

Its possible to get component to DVI scaler/converter boxes, but they're expensive buggers.
