    I looked around and i think this is the appropriate forum to post this, but is it possible to hook analog tv into a pc monitor with some sort of converter box(without any computer)? And what would i need to do that? Thanks a lot!

    There are small tv/lcd's that already has an analog box with monitor ports which can be used as both a tv and a monitor. I have one of these types of monitor lcds which comes with a remote.

    But if your just looking for a converter box to go with a regular lcd monitor, I think its a lot better to buy the lcd monitor/tv since you have both in one.

    Most lcd tv's have a monitor option, if you were to use it as a computer monitor as well as a tv, which comes in different sizes, as another option of having both tv and monitor into one.

    I was just wondering about that, because i thought maybe it would be cheaper to go with the pc monitor. I looked at those tvs and they looked a little pricey. I figured since i could find a deal for a 19inch monitor at 100, i would compare the price if there was a converter for it. If you think differently, then maybe ill go that route. Thanks a lot!

    yeah, if your looking for something a little more convenient, I would go for one that has attachments already on it. unless you find a cheaper monitor and a converter box that could save some money all together.
