Hello,

I am really interested in buying an HP 2509m 25" monitor for my Macbook Pro yet I also want to turn it into a replacement TV for my dorm room. My dorm gets cable without the use of a cable box -- I hook the cable wire directly into my old television -- yet I am unsure of how to get my cable to work with a HDMI-supported monitor. Through research I came to the conclusion that I needed to buy a cable box with HDMI-out in order to connect my monitor to it. I also decided that my PS3 will just be able to plug into the cable box as well with the use of the audio-out and video-out cables.

Is this true?

If not, please feel free to enlighten me ^_^ I am unaware of where to buy a cable box, so if such a device is required, please do tell me where I could purchase one.

Thank you!
