playing console games on computer screen
 

hey guys whats up.....i have a question. with all the ps3 and xbox 360 games coming in high def can i use my lcd flat panel screen as my screen instead of buying an actual high def tv. my computer screen is 1200x1024 something along those lines..damn i cant believe i dont know the resolution i guess cause im not using my actual computer. but i do know that its a very good quality screen. anywayz.... could my lcd flat screen take the place of a high def tv sense it has very good resolution and it has more resolution lines than a standard tv and high def tv's? if i could i use my pc screen then i just have to buy a vga box to plug in my console rca plugs, which is cheaper and wouldnt make a dent in my wallet.

The x360 Will have a vga cable that you can purchase, I imagine the ps3 will have one as well (if there is no included output socket). If not, you can get vga box's that convert HD signals to VGA signals. I myself use one made by vDigi so I could play my xbox in 480p.

so in a sense there is no need to purchase an hdtv if a person like myself has a good quality computer screen with good resolution then...am i correct quall?

If you don't mind playing on a computer screen, then that is all you need.

well for now that'll have to do sense i dont have the benjamins to buy a hdtv. maybe when i win the lotto...haha....but thanx quall for the insight :)

where is a good place that i can get my money's worth on a vga box(universal for all consoles)?
