I need a TV tuner that can support active gameplay.

    Those TVs look okay, but I'm going to see what I can find locally. This way if I have to send it back I can and not worry about shipping.

    Anyway, did a little research, and turns out that a 8800 GTX card can support 24+5 pins. So it looks like the kind of adapter I'll be getting my hands will use that instead of the usual 19+1 or 24+1. What is the difference between 19+1 or 24+1 anyway? I think 24+1 is used only if you plan on using two monitors. I wonder what would happen if you used only a single monitor? Would there be any picture performance? Also, where the DVI portion would have the +5 pins, would the sound still come from the computer, or the TV? Is there a way to switch between the two?

    Well, that aside, looks all that's left is to come up with some wires/couplers to connect the component/sound to the monitor. Anyway, thanks for the help and all, I just hope that I will be able to pull this off. If can answer any of the above questions that's great though, and if not, no worries, you've been tons of help to me. :D
