video games/computer monitor?

Q. can you hook a gamecube or any other video game system up to a computer monitor to play through that??

A. I dont think the Game cube has that 15 pin connector to hook to it. There are some composite monitors that take the RCA Jack and if your creative you can probably rig your own.

Computer monitor question?

Q. I have an lcd computer monitor that is cable of dual monitors. Now I want another monitor but I want the cheapest option with the smallest screen within reason. Something around 7". I want a screen of some kind that is small and can be used as a duel monitor as well as be used to play a game system off of and maybe hooked up as a tv.

Should I get adapters and use andother computer monitor, or should I get an lac tv and is there an adapter that will let me use that as my duel screen. Or can I use a dvd player

how does this connect if both computer tower slots look like inputs from the monitor

A. This VGA to S-Video & Composite Video Converter Box product is something like a spliter but split in two different kind of monitor port (VGA for monitor and RCA for TV) simultaneously. So at two screen will be show the same graphic which is resource from computer (VGA signal). If you need 2 VGA output, then try to find a VGA spliter.

Computer monitor for gaming?

Q. Could someone list a good monitor(s) for gaming based on price.
I'm very interested in the new IPS panel type, however usually these give a 8ms response rate (Which isn't that poor for gaming?)

Would I be better off getting a tn monitor with a 2/1 ms response rate or a IPS monitor?

Give links to suggestions please
Will NOT be using 3d. Not at all interested especially if it makes monitor more costly
Screen size should be 20-24 inches. 24-27 inch monitors you can show too, but not as interested
All of the monitor top 10 generic lists I find rank the Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED 24-Inch Ultra-thin Widescreen LED Monitor great, however with this being a TN panel, i dislike the darkness you see when looking at it from a poor angle (I plan on laying on my bed sometimes to watch movies, bed is lower than level of monitor)

A. if you want a gaming monitor, you dont need a super ultra epic high end monitor. a game will look great on a standard monitor as long as it's 1080p

What are the advantages and disadvantage of using Computer Monitor as TV?

Q. What are the advantages and disadvantage of using Computer Monitor as TV?
To be specific:
1. How about quality of image? [Refreshing Rate]
2. How about watching movie for a long time (Which one is worse)
3. Which one is power / energy saver?

A. 1. Quality of image is based upon your video card.

2. If you have a bigger screen and a couch or comfortable chair across the room it is cool.
Or a laptop on a table or dresser near to your bed and use the mouse for controller (laser mouse works best for this)

3. If you choose to integrate your cinematic experience to your computer screen or vice-versa it will be efficient on costs. Especially if you buy you one of them big ol' flat screens for your living room and tie in everything from your computer to video game console to entertainment syetem etc. and controll it via wireless keyboard and mouse

What computer gaming monitor should i buy?

Q. Hello, i want to know whats a good gaming monitor that i could buy for no more than 300 pounds. The computer i have is an alienware aurora.
My alienware costed about 1k 500 pounds

A. You want something with a high contrast ratio like (>40000:1)
(dont worry too much about the contrast ratio, but dont go below 20k:1)
very low response time (2ms)

Then I'd get the largest size monitor that has those things, is within your price range and is a brand name you have heard of.

What tv (32") should I use as a computer monitor?

Q. I'll try to be brief. Should I buy the 1080p and 120 hz or should I go for a cheaper option? I have found an Insignia brand from best buy with 1080p and 120HZ with a 6.5ms response rate at a reasonable price with good reviews. This will be used almost strictly as a computer gaming monitor. FYI Running crossfire with Radeon 4850's

A. well if you want the best quality i would say buy the 1080p tv and connect it using an
HDMI cable which are very good for the best quality and either way i would choose a hd tv!! hope this helps!!

How do I play PS2 on my computer monitor?

Q. So, I have a 19" widescreen computer monitor LCD and would like to play my PS2 on it. How would I go about doing so?

Any products that you might suggest? Thanks

A. I did this last year when I couldn't get hold of a TV for a while... Personally, I used http://xploder.net/ps2/products/161/Xploder-VGA-Adaptor-for-PS2-.htm - though, due to some issues with how the PS2 works, you aren't able to play all games. Also, if you go with that one, you'll need to buy http://www.xploder.net/products/148/Xploder-HDTV-Player.htm - which is the software to go with it. You'll need that to allow the PS2 to run at the resolutions that your monitor will support, as most monitors run on "HD" resolutions.

How do i connect my ps2 into my computers monitor? do i need to buy anything?

Q. How do i connect my ps2 into my computers monitor?
do i need to buy anything?

A. If you want to connect your PS2 directly to your monitor, I recommend the Component to VGA adapter sold at http://www.geekquipment.com/video-game-cables.html

It allows you to use your monitor just like a tv, as long as you have a VGA input on your monitor. I've used it with my Gamecube/PS2 and it's always worked pretty well for me.

How can I play my wii on the computer monitor?

Q. I want to record gameplay on my computer monitor, which is a Sansui. Does anyone have any instructions on what to do so that i can record what is played on screen. any programs, any software? any step-by-step

A. First find your nearest Best Buy. Ask for a tv card/tunner for your computer or for a device that would let you play games on you laptop. Hook up the cables and turn the wii on. Breath and take deep breaths because the Wii is super slow hooked up to a monater. Buy a new computer after you broke the screen from playing wii sports xD.
