I already have 3 TVs and a PC at home, BUT my kids and hubby are always using them. I need somewhere to play movies or exercise DVDs, and since I’ve noticed that some flat screen monitors are less expensive than laptops and regular TVs, I was wondering if I could just plug a DVD to a computer monitor where I could at least watch something in my spare time. Thanks!

I want to use my computer monitor to watch TV. But with the switch to digital cable (and converters) can you still do this with a tv tuner? or is it going to make it to where it does not work? I also do not want to have my computer all the way hooked up to this. I just want to be able to turn on my monitor and use the comcast box to change the channels.

I’m going to get an HDTV so I can watch TV but also use it as my computer monitor – and get rid of a lot of wasted space in my room. I’m not savvy with cables and connections – I’ll I know is that what I want to do is possible lol. Please help – and if you could explain the different options you give me (if there are) and what’s better I’d EXTREMELY appreciate it!!!
THANK YOU

Is There A Way To Hook My Dish To My Computer Monitor And Still Be Able To Use It With My Computer? I Want It To Double Up As My Computer Monitor And My TV. Is This Possible?

I would like to know (as I was personally unable to find one by googleing) if there exists a cable which converts the RCA component output (the ones with red, white, and yellow cables) to VGA (female end).

My goal is to be able to connect a computer monitor (which has a male VGA end) to a VCR. I have only been able to find cables which do the OPPOSITE (going from monitor to RCA components).

Please provide a link – thank you.

i need a device such as a scart selector which will allow me to run my computer through the monitor and any additional scart products i.e. games console DVD player VCR etc the problem is most scart selectors only have a scart lead to send to the output device whereas i need a serial output and at least one serial input.

10 points goes to anyone who can give me a direct link to the product I am after.
So I can purchase it.

I am looking for some sort of a switch or box or hub that will let me connect multiple systems (xbox 360, nintendo wii, computer) to my computer monitor so that I don’t have to keep switching out the different systems.

I think I seen something like this in an old gamers magazine I had. I don’t think I’m making this contraption up? haha…

Any web links to stores that sell these would be great

I want to hook my xbox360 up to a computer monitor as a cheap solution to an HDTV…. however, i dont know which one to get i wan to spend under 250ish… i found one it was a gateway but didnt have speakers… any ideas?

I’m sure you have all had this problem. Or maybe it’s just specific to my phone carrier, I’m not sure. Anywho, I can always tell when my phone is about to ring because my computer monitor or radio (whichever my phone is close to @ the time) starts buzzing. Sometimes it just starts buzzing, but my phone doesn’t even RING?

What causes this?

My wife’s computer, monitor, and telephone on her desk have started getting really warm sometimes. I realize the computer might just get a bit warm after use, but I’ve never noticed an LCD monitor getting as warm as it is now, and the corded telephone is pretty warm too. The phone is so warm that you can really feel the heat when you talk into the handset. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
