Anyone running a computer monitor as a TV, or Vice Versa? I was looking for both a new TV and a new comp monitor, and was thinking something like a 23"-30" WideScreen. I'm thinking i might save some dough in the end. anyways, wanted to know what kind of set ups you guys are running if any are similar...

On your car?

not in my car, for my bedroom

no, wont work..no inputs on a computer monitor are similer to a house hookup. You can however run a comp. monitor in your car as a tv.

I've been shopping around for lcd monitors lately. There are a few lcd monitors out there that have built in tv tuners with the correct inputs. Google around a bit.

No I think it does work, one of my friends has an LCD screen that he uses for both his comp and tv, a gateway or dell I think.

I'm using an old Sony GVM-2020 as my PC/TV/RGB gaming monitor. I got it off eBay about 2-years ago while searching under "Home > All Categories > Cameras & Photo > Professional Video Equipment > Monitors".

It's the best display in the house even when compared to our RPHDTV.
Although it's max resolution is only 800x600.

I haven't kept up with the latest widescreen hybrids though.

my friend has one, he has the option of doing sort of a P-I-P thing, when you can watch TV on a little screen, while you can still see the computer functions (screen)

I got a 17" cornea lcd tv, the only thing i don't like is the small speakers...other than that it was a good buy. I wish i could afford a bigger one, i like the ones where you can watch tv on one side of the screen and be online on the other.

some sites...
