I was wondering if it's possible to run my tv through my pc and to a 2405. And also hook my consoles to the 2405 as well, and have all those connected to klipsch 5.1 ProMedia's. If so what do I need.

I don't understand, do you want to use your 2405 as a TV or do you want to hook your TV to yoru 2405 (if so WHY???)?

Yes you can use your 2405 as a TV, you just need a tuner (like a VCR or a cable box). I have an HD reciever hooked up and it looks great.

You can use your consoles on the monitor, yes. It has composite, S-Video, and component in. I would suggest buying component cables for your consoles for maximum visual quality.
 
You need only one thing, a home theater amplifier.
Hook all the consoles and the computer into it, and use the digital out to feed a signal to the Klipschs
Of course, this requires an amp that can change an analog signal into a digital one, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere...
 
I want to hook my digital cable up to my 2405. And I have a set of monster cables for all my main consoles. Is that what I need.
 
Well.I had problems running my Xbox through the monitor with component connections.

There were rolling lines across the picture, and it was quite obviously stretched. THe image did not scale the way it would be expected to on a television. This, plus the rolling lines made it not recommended for a replacement for a Television for this sort of thing.

I hope to find a solution to the issue soon.

Using Regular single line video input I didn't have the rolling line issue, but there was a slight shimmer to the graphics, it was not rock steady as it would be on a television. I haven't tried S-Video input.
