Although I appreciate plug-ins for often doing the calculations and hard work for me (as well as sometimes offering some different settings I wouldn't think of), I always like to push PS to the limit and see what it truly can't do, as it can do so many things...

For the halftone, Keeper's right about having a high res picture, for the fastest, easiest, best results...

But what if all you have is a web shot?

If you have a lot of jpg artifacts, the result will not be as clean, but nevertheless...

Desaturate your color image, go to Filter>Pixelate>Color Halftone, and set the angle for all 4 channels to 45 degrees, and set the maximum radius to 4 pixels, click ok.
