Monitor cable plug to A/V plug's, possible??

[Crumm]

Is there a way to hook up standard A/V cables to a computer monitor? I have a old flat screen monitor that has a standard computer cable with the multi pin monitor plug and the kids want to use it for there Playstation. Is there a adapter that hook the A/V(Yellow, white and red plugs) to a computer monitor screen?

if it were an HD screen id say yeah no problem...but VGA or SVGA...
i doubt it.

fwiw the red & white are audio (right & left) yellow is analog video
480i

Well I guess I do just need to connect the yellow to it as it doesn't have speakers The monitor says "ViewSonic VE155" Model # VLCDS23585-1W. As far as HD, VGA or SVGA I have no clue..

yeah they make an item that converts rca jacks into a computer signal.

So it is more than a adapter. I didn't realize they had different signals. Looking on ebay and other places it looks like they are $100+. Now I need to figure out if the Monitor I have is worth it or if I should just buy a TV..

I think I found a couple of cheaper options on ebay. Are these what I need? I think so but I am computer illiterate..

Either one of those would do what (i understand) you want
to do.

yeah the second one you can run an fm transmitter off of it so you can run sound through a radio and if ya wanted to put it in the truck it'll run off of dc current but you'd still have to inverter the other two items so oh well
