I want to use a CRT monitor as TV in my garage, also I want to plug a PlayStation2, does someone try that? comments or recommendation (should I use other brand or device)?

You can use the monitor as TV but the brand doesnt have RCA in for your ps2, only out. The only "in" is for the coaxial cable.

I pulled out the box and the instructions; and they said you CAN hook it up to a PC monitor if the monitor has the RCA plug-ins. So I'd say it stands to reason that if have or get the converter cable, you should be good to go. This is a really fine little gadget that helped my nearly-blind friend continue living independently. Good luck! Lynda

You have to put it in HDMI-for use as a computer monitor.Other HDMI inputs,won't work.Check your tv,owner manual,on input devices.Another thing is,is that you hook everything up,before you turn on your computer,otherwise it will show wrong format,on your tv screen.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

To be honest, I have no idea why. Mine just took it out of the box and connected my ps4, and the from there my 2 tvs, nothing else connected. Everything it's been working fine.I haven't touched or moved since I installed. Sorry for your issues.

I wouldn't buy tjis ptoduct. I sent mine back because I used it to hook up another monitor to my computer and the resolution it gave me was only 400 x 800, not as advertised. I researched some more and a EVGA +39. It has an adapter for VGA and HDMI. Like I said, I use it to connect a third monitor to my laptop. Don't know if it can be used for a TV. But check to see if your TV has a VGA input first. Most do. Then you can just buy a VGA cable and a audio cable and that will work.

Hi Chris, we were able to get an old TV to use as a dedicated monitor. It had the input jacks right on the front of the monitor. Someone was very happy to get rid of their old TV. Sometimes these inputs are on the side or the back of a TV. One input for the white plug, and one input for the yellow plug. They might be label audio amd visual. It has brought my daughter much pleasure and it is great that it came with 60 games. Good luck! Francine

As someone else mentioned, use a VGA cable. Very easy to find, and not very expensive. Amazon has them.

We used a flat screen monitor that we had around the house and it worked just fine. We did have to upgrade the video card ($40) and we've replaced the disk drive ($40), it wouldn't run a game we wanted to play... assassins' creed. You need to think of this as a starting point. Yes, you can and will need to upgrade parts and pieces. This box was easy to open and both parts that we replace were simple to add/swap out.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -&gt; VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

You can use a dedicate computer monitor, or tv as a monitor as well with the computer monitor port on it. You could use a tv yo are already using, and then simply switch to that input when you would like to view it. I also beieve that a monitor dips necessary for initial set up as well..recording preferences etc...

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!

I just plugged this into my ps2 then ran an hdmi cable from this to my tv.. and it's usb cable into the ps2 as well.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

I bought this for use as a Karaoke monitor. to get it to work as a TV, I ordered a S-video to VGA converter box and ran S-video from my direct TV box to the new converter box and then VGA cord to the monitor. works great!

For a computer monitor I would lean away from. For gaming consoles they would work well. I use fire tv for gaming, pretty good on a ps3 as well. Computers would have resolution issues if you are nitpicking for high quality images, but some games would not be overly affected like voxel based games or lower quality visual games. I would personally not try Skyrim on it, Oblivion on the other hand would be fine.
