    I know some people do this, and I was wondering how it's done. I recently have gotten a computer set up in my room, and I want to move my stuff in with it.

    If it helps, I have an HP Pavilion f1503, basically a crappy flat screen monitor.

    I suck at internet. I typed PSP instead of PS2.

      Yeah. That would be cool.
      I've got a Dell 17" LCD monitor. I'd like to know how you can do this. Maybe you need some sort of super special monitor..
      Meh. Hope we'll find out soon.

        I think some video cards support this sort of stuff, so check the back of your computer for an s video port or a regular video-in port.
        Otherwise, no idea.

          Most media center PCs support this, so Neon had it right.
          Or else you need a VGA adapter and the right cables. I've been trying to find the best way to do this and the best stuff I've found to do this is the following:
          Adapter: http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...oducts_id=4233&
          Cables : http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...roducts_id=1468

          Cost a lot though, which sorta sucks...

            For XBOX there is an adapter that is exactly for thios purpose. You can even switch the monitor from PC to XBOX any time. I was looking into it a while ago but I could never find one in real life and I don't have a credit card to order one.
