Can I connect a flat screen monitor to my old computer?

You shouldnt have any problems.\nIf you have a pc 2-3 years or older. You probably have a VGA connection on the back of your pc. So when buying a new flat screen make sure it is comes with a VGA connection.\n\nYou can also even buy DVI flat screens. But you would need to buy an adapter for your pc. The adapter has to change DVI>VGA. \n\nHere is a picture of both of them. Just check behind your pc to see which one you have.\n\nhttp://www.onlinecomputertips.com/images/h17.jpg

Your question is hard to understand.\nPerhaps this might help?\nhttp://www.cnet.com.au/desktops/monitors/0,239029422,240053704,00.htm

If your laptop has a yellow video port, with an RCA jack connection, just use a common video cable to hook the laptop's yellow plug with the yellow plug on the TV.  \nIf your laptop has only the external monitor port, you probably won't be able to connect the two without an adapter.

Funny, because I just did some research on this tring to hook up my PS2. Anyway, you can just buy a VGA converter. They should be available at your local Radio Shack or other store that might carry wires/parts. Instead of plugging the monitor into your computer, you would plug it into the adaptor and then plug the cable in on the other side. This saves you the money of buying a TV card as well, but you could get it if you want that nice TiVo effect with Media Center. However, TV tuners can be annoying because there is a considerable amount of delay, which makes them not-so-great for plugging in a gaming system..

You must have a video card that either:\n-have RCA adaptors in the back of PC to connect to TV\n-DVI connection in the back for HD TV\n-S-VHS VIVO (video in/video out) adaptor to connect to TV\n-S-VHS to HDTV adaptor \n\nOtherwise you can't.

Your monitor should work just fine - it uses a standard hdb-15 cable to connect to your computer.  \nMake sure you change the voltage settings on your power supply (of your computer) - it is usually a red switch in the back of your pc (by the power cord).

Install Graphic (VGA) Driver for your Monitor.

If I remember correctly, those cables are hard to come by or don't exist at all(and even if they exist, I think they were pretty expensive).\n\nTry looking here:\n\n http://www.monoprice.com\n\nMight be easier to either use your s-video (assuming you have one) or finding a HDTV that supports VGA inputs.\n\nI guess you could also try using a little box to do it for ya.

Yes.  DVI to DVI is all you need for the connection.  You want to make sure the video card in your laptop can hadle Dual monitors if that is your intention.  Sometimes Dual monitors plus not enough juice in the video card equals a crashing CPU.

Any monitor with a DVI or VGA connector will work.

Try the site below, or the Dell website might have it. An external hard drive might be a good idea, as you just plug it into a USB port and use it. It can be transferred between computers too. Upgrading the RAM would help too. Today's computer require at least 512 MB to run average programs.

There are DVI cables that break out to the individual component digital plugs for both machines.  You might be able to use this to your advantage and just use some extention cables between the two adapters to connect them up.  Do a little research about component plugs for PS2 and DVI.

You need a video adapter card with those inputs and ability to convert PAL or NTSC to VGA. You can also get cards with Tuners built in. Look at the ATI All-In-One cards.

Your computer will need to support this type of display. (Check for more than one VGA or DVI display port.)\n\nIf not, you can buy a dual or triple head graphics card to install into your machine. Installing a second graphics card disables the computer's on-board port and you connect up your monitors to its ports instead. This will give you two (or more) independently addressable displays. With windows you then select the display and tick "Extend my desktop to this display" in the settings and the additional display will come on and start working. (By default windows will only use one display until you tell it otherwise in the settings, then all is fine and windows will use all the displays from then on.)\n\nhttp://shopmatrox.com/\n\nI have a Matrox P650 Dual-Head card with two flat panel screens and this works very well. (There are cheaper options out there though.)\n\nThere are also boxes and adaptors out there that can split your one display output into two, and this will function in "stretched" mode. (For example a laptop.) But make sure that your computer's chip-set is supported. The manufacturer of the display splitter box should be able to tell you what it is compatible with.\n\nThis is different from independent displays in that it is slightly less flexible. As far as windows is concerned, you have one big monitor and some applications might not work quite right in stretched mode because they are unaware of the two displays.\nThere are drivers/software to work around this to a certain extent. (Mostly to re-position windows to the middle of one of the displays and not the middle, straddling the two displays, and to reposition windows when maximised to the display they are in and not across both screens.)\n\nIf your budget (and hardware) allows, go for independent displays rather than stretched mode only setup.

If you have an S-video out on your video card, that should work.  Otherwise I doubt it.  Further, it appears that monitor was produced in the early 80's, before hi-rez video cards in computers so I doubt you'll get anything satisfactory in terms of resolution and color depth.  If running Windows XP, quite possibly it won't work at all since XP has higher requirements of monitors than previous operating systems.\n\nUsed CRT monitors run about $15 USD now.  You might look into that.

thethief is kind of right, but youll get sucky performance. Buy a modern agp or pci-express video card and it should have a dvi and vga input, with a dvi > vga adapter allowing more than one monitor plugged into the video card.

No you cannot do that.  To be able to do that you would have to go back to the 80's where they had a "computer" (the size of a large room) with workstation all over the building.  However that technology was outdated many years ago and you can't find it anymore except in computer science museums.\n\nIf you need a cheap computer you might check out computer surplus outlet (http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx) and take a look.  It won't be the latest and greatest but it'll be cheaper than buying a new conputer.
