I would like to use my LCD computer monitor by itself to watch a DVD played from a DVD player. With this work or does the Monitor have to have a tuner like a TV set.
First you need to know what inputs your LCD uses. It can be VGA, HDMI, other or a combination. Then find the output options on the player, on newer players, as well as, newer monitors HDMI is pretty much standard. If the output matches the input, no problem, just hook directly as normal. If there is no match, then you need a converter for one of the outputs to one of the inputs. Don't forget the sound, it usually uses another connection. DVD players usually have RCA jacks, Monitors (or computer speakers) mini-jacks. This just requires a simple plug you can get for less than $2 from radio shack.
If the DVD player has a VGA output you can, if not you will need to buy a component to VGA adapter
You'd need to connect the video out from the DVD player to a video in on ur monitor. I think you're out of luck. What would you do for sound anyway?
