I am starting to think about what electronics I am going to need for next year when i leave home and go into a dorm room. I plan on buying the new macbook whenever they come out. Since i am so used to using a desktop, I will have my bluetooth mouse and keyboard hooked up to it, and I would also like to purchase a monitor.
For my dorm room, I will also need a tv. So i figured why not use my monitor for both? Now i could do it one of two ways, buy a tv with a vga input and use that, but i will be sacrificing quality, or I could buy a monitor, which would be cheaper than a tv.
If i buy lets say a 22 inch monitory, a lot of them come with component inuputs. My dorm only has standard cable, and uses coax. Do they sell some sort of converter that would allow me to watch tv on the monitor? I would prefer not to use a computer tuner, and I cannot use slingbox because the university limits my downloads. Any suggestions?
