Do i need a special video card? i want to be able to watch my computer on my tv and the monitor as well without having to hook up one or other.

I’m trying to connect something to my computer monitor so that I can watch TV on it instead of on my television set (it would just make life much more easy). It’s a ViewSonic VX2235wm. It comes with DVI, VGA and speaker cables, but I don’t think it works with HDCP. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to buy? Or if it’s even possible?

Hi, I just found a computer monitor in my attic and i want to recycle to use for my xbox 360 and watch tv. All it has on the back is, a wire coming out of it with a VGA (male) so basically the wire is integrated into it. But is it still possible to connect my 360 and tv with this male VGA wire coming from the monitor? If i any can help it would be appreciated and a easy 5 stars.

Thank you

I have a flat screen computer monitor that I want to use as a TV. I DO NOT want to use a computer to do this. My current tv is really small (14″) and my computer monitor is 17″. I also have cable, so I would want to use that too.

At any dick smith store in australia you can get a HD TV for $500. i was thinking about getting one to watch TV shows but also to use it as my computer monitor. Most TV’s now come with outputs for computer monitor cords.
Is it wise to use a TV as a computer monitor as well as watching TV shows?

I have a HD computer monitor for my computer. It has HDMI and DVI input. I would like to watch TV with it. Of course i would have to buy a TV card to put in the computer. But what i would like to know is how can i watch tv without turning on my computer on. Use the monitor as it a normal tv with remote functions. I am running an extension coax line from my living room (which has the box from my tv cable provider) to my computer which is in another room. Is there any suggestions on how i can do this?
