Q. Hey lol first off ill start by saying im not very technical when it comes to this stuff, but basically my buddy justbought a brand new hd tv (huge) for his ps3 and well as just tv in general, well on the road he used a westing house l2410nm lcd monitor for his ps3, but since he got that he gave it to me. I don't want to use it as just a ps3 hook up, but also would like to use it as my general purpose tv. Somone told me get tv tuner and somone said get hd cable box... not quite sure what each is and their price or how i use them could anyone point me in the right direction and elaborate more on what i need to do. ( i have no intentions of using the monitor for my comp cause i have a laptop. Thanks.
A. I Checked out your monitor at the manufacturers website, and I looked at all the ports it has. I hate to have to put anyone down, but the post on C Net tells you a way that works on all monitors, but it really difficult and requires a desktop computer. In your case you will need some sort of a conversion box if you do not have one. If you want HDTV, you will have to subscribe for HD service and the box comes with it. Below are all the ways you can have television:
Depending on how you get your television, there is a few ways you can hook it up.
If you have tivo or another DVR, or if you have a VCR or DVD recorder that you use to record TV, you can go ahead and set up your monitor without a box as mentioned in the end of this answer.
If you pay for your TV service you either have cable or satellite, you will need a set top box (a box with its own remote, in some cases the remote may also work for you TV), if you do not have one, you could call your service provider for one.
If you do not pay to watch tv, you either have an antenna, or cable provided by an apartment or office, If you have an antenna, you need to buy a digital converter box if you do not have one already. You will need to buy one if you have an antenna anyway because tv goes digital in June. If you have cable, ask the person who pays for it for a set top box.
Once you get a set top box, or a digital converter box, if you do not have one already, there are a couple of ways to hook it up:
The easiest way is to use a composite cable( It is made up of a yellow cable, a red cable, and a white cable, and almost everything is compatible with it) and just plug in each cable into the ports on your box and monitor.
If you want better image quality, you can use a component cable or an hdmi cable if the box has the ports for it. An HDMI cable has one plug, and the port is rectangular, with no screws, you just plug it in, A component cable has 5 plugs, Red, White, another Red, Green, and a blue one, one pair of red and white should be seperated, or have somthing different about it.
