Question:

LCD MONITOR AND DVD PLAYER?

if i have a lcd computer monitor with DVI and DSUB outlets on the back, can i connnect this to a regular dvd player and play dvds?thanks

Answer:

The answer is yes, as long as long as the pins match, remember you need one out and one in.
Not by itself. For an analog only DVD player, you need a VGA TV tuner, or TV to VGA converter box. If your player supports component, a component to VGA converter box might work. If the DVD player has HDMI, and the monitor supports HDCP, you can use an HDMI to DVI cable, or an HDMI cable and DVI to HDMI adapter.
