Lcd monitor as HDTV ?
November 19th, 2008 | by admin |I recently bought a 19" Viewsonic LCD monitor. However it only has VGA input. So I was wondering if I can buy a HD set top box, then get a hdmi to vga adapter, so that I can connect it to the lcd monitor. Does anyone know if this is possible ?
It's possible, most definitely possible. But I wouldn't recommend it. Firstly, the LCD is VGA for a reason, it was intended as a Computer Display. Secondly, HDMI is designed for 480p-1080p resoloution, the first one may be your only option, and although it's good, I would recommend you buy an HD certified display unit to achieve the desired resoulution. The LCD Will display the HD, but probably not very well, as the monitor would cut off the extended resoulution (Kind of like watching a Full Frame movie on a Widescreen TV) It won't look right because you're forcing the hardware to do something it wasn't designed to do.
worst case scenario, you won't get a picture at all, best case scenario, your plan will work.
good luck!
