Q: Ok, so, are there any good, inexpensive converter cables I can buy that'll allow me to plug in one of my gaming systems to a computer monitor? Obviously, game systems come with the usual AV cables, but that won't plug into a computer monitor. Is there just a general cable/converter thing that'll allow me to do this?
A: Besides the Xbox 360 and the Dreamcast, that have special VGA cables, there is no cheap cable, that will allow you to use a VGA monitor with a console. You will need an expensive VGA converter box that will do the trick. Cables alone will not be enough for consoles like Wii, Gamcube, PS2 and everything before these. For example the box below will cost US$ 37
