PC monitor as a TV?

[Lee82]

i need to use my PC monitor to watch TV and attach rca / composite plugs to it (including my WII/Gamecube)

I know there are various ways and boxes but i'm not that knowledgeable on such matter

If possible, I wish to have both my PC and my WII connected to this single monitor, without disconnecting and shifting inputs, and if possible I wish also to have this device work as a good quality capture card. It doesnt really matter if I need to switch the PC on to watch TV or have my WII displayed on screen AS LONG as the quality is crystal clear.

I already own a capture card - and even though it records /captures really well, the "view without rec" option is really sluggish...

If there are any suggestions of such tuners/captures etc pls share your thoughts

So far locally I found only these two, but non of the stores have it on display to see the picture quality

what kind of monitor is it? a crt or lcd? what kind of inputs does it have now?

if its an older crt, you are going to have to buy a fairly expensive converter box.

I couldn't follow your links, since they're not exactly correct.

Something like this should work well. I have one on a spare monitor.

An LCD-TV would be the better solution.

Not if he's limited on space or cash.

The original poster lives in Malta so I presume requires a PC card with PAL tuner? I use an old A-Ver card myself but it requires a reasonably strong signal to produce a clear picture.
