What's a good monitor or tv to get for this product, and what cables do I need?

You could use the TV you got at home or buy an HP or any computer monitor, you could pick one up for round $100 at one of your local shopping centers . All the cables you need come with the camera and the DVR unless you need it longer you'll have to buy that separate. I hope I was able to answer your Question.

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

Dear, Maria you will need a VGA cable(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006HXUXRY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1378848885&sr;=8-1π=AC_SX110_SY165), an hdmi cable(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003L1ZYYM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1378848106&sr;=8-1π=AC_SX110_SY165), and an 3.5mm auxiliary cable(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0069J1W30/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1378848523&sr;=8-10π=AC_SX110_SY165)

you need and hdmi adapter and an hdmi cord. But I do not recommend you getting it from SupplyQuick company I bought two things from there and they were all defective!

I would purchase an HDMI cable and possibly a sound bar. The sound bar only if you want better sound than the tv speakers can provide but don't have a lot of space.

I believe it was just the VGA cable. A DVI isnt too expensive. you can get one for between 5-10 bucks and shouldnt deter you from buying the awesome budget monitor!

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Personally I would go with an DVI to HDMI cord. And use the two DVI ports. Or two DVI to HDMI adapters. The only way to do what you are talking about is a HDMI Splitter box even then I do not think it would work for what you want, HTH Mark

The only cable you will need to purchase is an HDMI cable! Everything else is included. :)

I purchased a "Coax SVGA Monitor Cable Hddb 15m" for $16.35+6.17 shipping+$22.52 I got the 25ft to reach from my TV to my couch but they have shorter in feet. All you do is plug one end into the TV, and the other into the laptop. (mine is male to male ends) Set the source button on your TV to "VGA", turn on your laptop, wait for the signal to come through and your are good to go. If your laptop doesn't have the holes for the pins to screw into, it might be loose and fall out. Check it out, I am extremely pleased with it. BUT, it doesn't have the audio wires. My sound comes out of my laptop. If you want the sound, I suggest the "RiteAV-SVGA Monitor Cable with 3.5m audio" for $12.69+tax (Maybe less for shorter cable than 25ft.) Check both of these out before purchase to see which is best for you. I have no problem with mine and using my 42" HDTV as a monitor is awesome for looking at photos. We watched our Disney photo CD's on Christmas Eve. Good Luck to you!

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!

A DVI to VGA adapter was included in the package for this unit. I have tested it up to 1920x1080 and it works well at that resolution. Just make sure that the VGA connector is secure on both ends; as with any VGA cable, the signal can get blurry if the connector is loose. (This was particularly true for me when using the desktop's included VESA bracket to mount it to the back of my television, because space is extremely constrained behind the television and the VGA cable would sometimes get jarred loose). Be careful about your cable arrangement and you should be fine.

You could always buy the DVI to HDMI connector I did and works great! only about 6 dollars if you really want the monitor :)

This monitor has the following ports:1x HDMI, 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x USB - B (for the built-in camera), 1x audio in, 1x audio out.The onboard speakers work fine for me, so that probably depends on your audio drivers.If you're looking for video out, you'll probably wan't to get a GPU that supports that.

all you will need is a vga cable with 3.5mm audio cable combined or by it self if you want audio.And a male to male hdmi cable to your needed length.

Any inexpensive HDMI cable will work with this set- don't buy into the hype if someone tries to sell you a pricey cable. CNET has a great article that explains HDMI without getting too technical or confusing here: http://reviews.cnet.com/2719-11276_7-226-1.html
