Widescreen Gaming Forum

So I upgraded a bit ago to triple monitors... two Dells and a Viewsonic. Problem was that the Viewsonic was shorter than the Dells. I mean same resolution and screen size, but the stand was shorter. I propped it up with a book, but who wants a command center that looks like that?

So eventually I got another Dell. Now they are all the same height, same look, thinnner bezel too. Plus these can go Portrait on their existing stands so if I ever decide to go 5x1 Portrait I can use these.

Anyway, this leaves me with a 4th monitor that is just begging to be used in some fashion. I'd love to turn it into a TV so that I can have a game on or something without stealing resources from the computer, or when I'm playing a wide screen game.

I've seen a couple of options, wondering if anyone has experience with either...

Any thoughts? Or are you doing something different?

Those devices are exactly what I tend to use for using my PC screens as a TV.
I have a different product thats no longer avaiable, but these are the same, only supporting higher resolution :)

Great little scan convertors they are :D

Got 2 at my parents, 1 at my flat, and a few of them that we use at work.
