Need Help: What do I need to....

[Betauser]

Hi guys, I have 2 2407HC. One is connected to my Laptop and the other one is for my console Xbox360 and PS3. Now what i need to know is, how can I make one of them as my TV? I have Comcast cable and i'd like to use one of them as my regular TV.

So my real question is: What are the things that i need to make this work? Any info would greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Here's an "instructable" that I found that describes the process step by step. I've never heard of this site before today, so I can't tell you whether or not this works well (or even at all...).

thanks for the website... but doesnt the 2407 HC have composite? would that be possible to hook up my cable TV instead of going to HDMI>DVI?

First (so I'm on the same page as you), do you mean this monitor?

Here is another link, this time from CNET, on how to turn the monitor into a TV (this one is a video). The video also explains what you can do whether or not your monitor has the right ports available.

It depends on your cable box. If your cable box has that output, and your monitor has that input, then sure, why wouldn't it work?

true, but I'm worried about the picture quality.. i guess we'll find one when i get my additional cable box.
