I Need a Monitor / TV in a Pinch

[Jeremy1998]

Alright guys... I am in a pinch right now. I need some sort of TV, or monitor with Component inputs, and low input lag. Since most TVs have horrible input lag, unless you spend a ton on them, that is pretty much out of the question.

So I am left with looking for a monitor. I need a monitor with Component inputs, and that is also a rare thing. About the only thing I've seen is the Sony PlayStation 3D Display. And coming in at only $180 US, I can actually get it like right now... but the other side to that is that it's a 24 inch 3d monitor for $180...

I'm not looking for perfection right now... I just need a decent display to do my console gaming on. How well do you think it would perform?

What console gaming?
Surely you can get an adapter to DVI, HDMI or VGA and just use a normal monitor?

It's an Xbox 360. I could run it on a monitor. But the problem is that my capture card is a Hauppauge HD PVR, which uses component cables. I decided that it is probably cheaper to get the Black Magic Intensity PRO capture card instead.

My only question about that is could you put component in, and get HDMI out?

Just get a cheap TV. Input lag really doesn't make a massive difference on xbox gaming.

I've never understood recording gameplay...
