Monitor and TV act as one.

[BigDave2967]

Hi lads, this is the monitor I currently have.

http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/pro...WIDESCREEN-TFT (http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/389676/EMPREX-22-inch-WIDESCREEN-TFT)

I checked at the back of the monitor, and these are the sockets that I have.

D-SUB (VGA)
Audio
DVI

I intend to use the monitor for:

Gaming for PC and PS3.
Watch TV channels *hopefully by freeview*
Watch DVDs
Watch videos.

Would help greatly so I can get rid of the big old tv that I have. Since HDs are well out in the open now.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

So, do you need help moving the old TV? It must be heavy. Perhaps a neighbor can assist.

Seriously, what do you need? You say you have a TV that has what you need

PS3 can be used on standard composite (SCART) - EVERY TV has one (or several)!
Normal TV can be watched through standard co-ax (It's a TV after all!)
PC can be used through VGA
DVDs can be watched on either PS3 or PC through their respective feeds, or else have a DVD player using the composite as well...
Videos can again be watched through normal composite or SCART...

That's all for the TV though dude, we're talking about a standard monitor here.

Here's my take on it.

Use the PC for DVDs, get a USB TV adapter for TV, if you're talking about VHS, don't bother trying.

PS3, no idea. If they do a VGA cable like the xbox then use that.
