How can I hook up older game systems to an LCD computer monitor?

Q. Long story short, I'm going to be upgrading my computer setup soon. The monitor I'll likely be going with is 24" 1900x1200 and will have one DVI port and one HDMI port. How can I connect older game systems (systems with composite and component cables) and have them be displayed at a decent resolution?

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

A. You want a scaler. But they don't come cheap. Here's one from Amazon to give you an idea, http://www.amazon.com/Component-composite-s-vid-Scaler-converter/dp/B00083Y712 . That would allow you best customize how the image is being output to the monitor. You can also get ones for HDMI like this, http://www.hdtvsupply.com/svideo-to-hdmi.html
