Re: [H] Using Spare LCD Monitor as a TV
I'll have to look again, but all I found was a DVI-I to component adapter (various lengths) that monoprice insists will not work with a computer monitor. Yeah, I do agree, it is a great place for cables. Steve Rick Glazier wrote: monoprice.com From: "Steve Tomporowski" > Any ideas, links, bodily noises? ThanksSteve
Re: [H] [Bulk] Using Spare LCD Monitor as a TV
I found a component to DVI-I adapter on monoprice but they insist it will not let you connect component to monitor. Still looking. Newegg's search was very unresponsive on this type of adapter. I can see if a converter is needed but someone must have wanted to do itbesides me... Stan Zaske wrote: NewEgg has a huge inventory of adapters. Component to DVI perhaps?

I also have a cheapie Home Theatre Tuner that only has composite & component outputs. Is there some way of connecting the two together. Most links I'm finding are on how to use your HDTV as a computer monitor, or which external tuner to buy, or, even worse, the blanket statement that all computer monitors have HDMI inputs so use those.

Re: [H] Using Spare LCD Monitor as a TV
Steve, I have purchased a lot of cables from this company. They have just about everything imaginable and good prices. All of the cables I have purchased, including DVI to RCA composite(which you may need) are very high quality. They have the adapter or the cables. http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp Jeff Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 3:00 PM Subject: [H] Using Spare LCD Monitor as a TV I'm not schooled in HDTV, so I'm having a bit of problem finding info on this matter.
