i wanted to know if its possible to use a computer monitor as a tv screen, like connect a vcr to it and watch vhs tapes on it? how would i do this?

thanks

Your video card has to support video input, and it needs to have an RCA or S Video jack.

TV capture card will allow you to input your video source using either S Video or RCA connection. you also can record them and burn to DVD. I use Leadtek 2000 XP Delux and it work great.

if you don't want to have to use a computer (sounds like this may be the case) you can get converters... ask at your local electronics store, they're pretty common. only thing is they're a bit pricey. basically though, you'd only need to plug one end into your vcr, the other into the monitor

there are some old monitors like the philips amiga 500 monitor that has av sockets on, i used to use a vcr through it many years ago and it was good quality aswell, but as far as pc monitors go you either need a tv card or a convertor which would probably be more expensive than just buying an old tv.
