LCD Monitor or TV
«

Which LCD monitor would I have to get in order to use one of these amps that I bought last week? Note: I am connecting an original xbox to whichever one you guys suggest.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=100972.0
Is the only way for me to utilize this amp though an LCD TV or is there someway for me to use an LCD monitor? Monitors I noticed are much cheaper on ebay than TVs. I'd prefer to use a monitor rather than TV because of this.
Any thoughts or websites you guys recommend for cheaper LCD screens?
Thanks guys,

doesnt matter what your video source is, you can run the LR audio wires right from the xbox into the amp (the red and white holes)
Also,TVs usually cost more because its got the TV tuner in it, PC monitor probably supports more resolutions as well.

Malenko to the rescue again! You sir are a genius, and smart too!
Thank you so much. That really was a stupid question. should have figured that one out myself. I'll go for a monitor, just make sure that it has s video or something that I could connect the xbox to.
Thanks again Malenko.
I'll try not post anymore stupid questions.

I don't think your question was stupid. U were uncertain and posted. That's normal if u ask me. I know for sure that some of mine questions on this forum are stupid as hell... But the members here at BOYAC are great and point u in the right direction as long as u behave!

No dumb questions. Only the ones that aren't asked.
Sometimes the obvious...isn't.
