I want to use this monitor for playing DVD's. Will it work for this purpose?

That completely depends on what you attach it to. It is a nice quality and just as good as many tv's, if that's what you mean.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

Depends on what kind of hookups the Wii has and/or what kind of connector cable you have. I'm not familiar with the wii, but I'm guessing it comes with a standard audio/video connector (like a dvd player) or else an HDMI connector. This monitor doesn't have either of those, but if you have something that can convert whatever comes out of the wii to VGA, then it should work to play graphics (but no sound). You would need to hook up a set of speakers if you wanted to hear sound. Also, keep in mind that this monitor is only about 11 inches tall. You said you wanted to use it while watching another TV, so a small screen and no sound might work for you. If so, then you would just need a cable to convert the wii to VGA. I would look for a cable first before buying the monitor. Hope that helps. :)

yes we used it as computer monitor frequently for playing videos or video games. It works very well with both HDMI and VGA connection.

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

sorry, I used it to hook up a second monitor I don't know if it would work for you

I don't know, I use it to display on my smartboard, but I'm sure with the right connecting cord any monitor would do it. You need another cord with the male connector on both sides.

The description for this item says your display system must support component video signal output function in order for the image to display properly. I use the cord to connect a dvd player to a projector and it works wonderfully. Sounds like you have a compatibility issue.

Yes, it should do the job, if the monitor doesnt have built in speakers, you will need external speakers for the sound though.

Yes, that's what it does -- RCA (or s-video) to VGA. It works, but the quality is very poor.

Yes it will work. You will need a VGA cable to go from this to the monitor. In addition to get any sound you will need some speakers with either the headphone jack or, preferably, an AUX 3.5mm jack. But with TV prices going down, why not just get a nice TV?

I would expect it to if the monitor has an SVGA input and the monitor is capable of 720TVL. We are using a higher resolution than that with it.

That should work as long as the DVD has RCA IN (red, white, yellow). You might want to run cables from the OUT on the dvd to the tv to check picture quality.

It only has a VGA connection. So you would need some kind of converter and the quality would be poor.

If you use a cable box provided by your service provider that is compatible with HDMI, DVI or VGA connectors, yes. However this monitor doesn't have speakers. It's designed primarily for PC gaming with the idea or high grade headphones or speaker system to be connected to the PC or gaming system. Same answer for blu ray.

Sure will, its not a monitor, its a cable ready TV that can also be used as a monitor!

For sure! I run a 25ft DVI to HDMI cable to a 32" lcd across the room to watch movies and shows. As long as you download the newest drivers from Nvidia it should work no problem!
