simple technology question

[justtorchit]

So im gonna be moving into a place in Meridan next week, and i need to bring a tv. but i really dont want to rip the one out of my room here.

so my question is there any way i can hook my lcd computer screen as a tv screen???

mainly to play video games when im bored....

[Mike]

yes, but its expensive, need to buy a box, its not worth it. It was like 2 or 3 hundo i think. I have a 22" LCD comp screen and was looking into doing the same thing.

You could get a TV tuner , AV Inputs i guess for your computer but its bad quality compared to watching on a tv IMO.

yeah, looks like it would

* Turn your LCD PC Monitor into a TV
* Play Wii / PS2/3 / Xbox games on your PC LCD monitor
* Plug and Play no software/driver needed.
* Except using PC you never need to turn on the PC for all the rest functions. Or you don't even need a PC!
* Your PC still functions as usual; nothing impacted.

You might as well just spend an extra 100$ and get a TV.
