Would using an old Sony TV as a desktop monitor work?

using tv as pc gaming monitor image

GabbyGal

I was looking into how to work Television sets as monitors for my PC games and found that my 50 inch 10 year old projection screen Sony TV has an S-Video cable input. I was wondering if I hooked up a desktop with an adapter if it would actually work? If not, would there be any alternative to use my old clunky TV as a monitor? It does have the Red, White, and Yellow wire inputs along with many other cable inputs.

Hi,

Yes, that should work OK but you won't be able to use a high resolution as your tv won't support it.

Also you will need a separate output from your sound card .to a sound system or to the sound input on the tv.

A good gaming monitor for someone on a budget?

I need a gaming monitor and I have found an excellent 'BenQ' monitor. However, it was out of my budget, around $300. My desk isn't the biggest so it would be nice if it is smaller. The price range im hoping to get one for is around $150, if they have a decent gaming one for that price. Thank you!

I use Sony Playstation 3D display. I play PS3 and my pc games on it all the time. It's also good for watching movies.It also works with Cable TV. It comes with 3D glasses and a ps3 game. Not sure if that's what you're looking for. It's a 24" display with full HD and I think that the price is around 200 or so. I got it last year on a sale for 100 and I like it. If you don't have a ps3, you could sell the game and glasses. Hope I helped
