    Default VideoGames and DVDs on Comp Monitor

    In the process of making my Pinball Circus Display I came upon a stumbling block.

    I wanted to use a 17 LCD computer monitor connected to a very small DVD player operated by remote.

    Guess what? Computer Monitors dont have the correct inputs and are not designed to work with sources other than computers!

    I bet some of you already knew that.

    LCD TVs dont come in my required size and they cost a bundle.

    What to do?

    I went searching on the internet to see if there was a way it can be done and look what I found.

    StarTech.com - Composite and S-Video to VGA Video Converter for Computer Monitors

    So for anyone with a spare monitor collecting dust now you can use it for both video games or DVD players! External Speakers required of course.

    You'd do just as well to rip the DVD and use a computer to play the flick.

    For too many reasons to list that would not work for this application.
