The only ports available are a DVI and a VGA port.
No cable box, only a digital converter box, since this tv will be in the kitchen. Just got a laptop and don't want to throw away/keep a monitor for no reason. thanks

A. Digital converter boxes will NOT work. They are designed to convert the digital TV signals that are being broadcast nowadays back to analog to allow old analog low-definition boob-tube TVs to watch today's digital programming.
Your HP W1907 has no analog low-definition boob-tube TV inputs like composite or S-video, so it will not work with a digital converter box.
What your HP W1907 will work with is a digital HD cable box, because that monitor is HDCP-compliant. A digital HD cable box will have either a DVI or HDMI output, and can be connected directly to an HDCP-compliant monitor using a cable with the appropriate HDMI or DVI ends.
You want to use your HP W1907 as a TV, the best way is to get a digital HD cable box from your local cable TV service provider-- Unlike standalone TV tuners which cannot tune into encrypted pay HD channels, a digital HD cable box will allow you to watch HDCP-encrypted pay HD channels on your monitor.
Hope this helps.

Will an LCD monitor purchased in Canada/USA work overseas? Is the PAL vs NTSC argument relevent?
Q. I purchased an Acer LCD monitor from Canada (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10075933&catid=) and am wondering if it will work if I take it overseas. From my understanding, the displays there are completely different (NTSC vs PAL). As far as voltage goes, the monitor says its able to handle 220volts so that shouldnt be an issue. Any help would be much appreciated
A. NTSC and PAL is only relevant to broadcast TV signals. Monitors use VGA standard and it's nearly the same worldwide... the only difference is the compensatory magnets for northern/southern hemisphere... for CRT only.
