I know the major weakness of this monster is its lack of input option, but the new redeuced price is just too inresistable and it is now on the way to my home. I game on PC most of the time anyway so it is not a show stopper.

However, I do watch TV and play on console. I am using a Sharp Aquos 26 inch, and I can do all this without any trouble. It is the low solution of it (1366x768) that drives me away from it...

So what is the best way to watch TV and play on console using this monster? TV Tuner box with VGA output is out of question because it has only one DVI port, and there exist no TV Tuner Box which has Dual Link DVI-D Output....Even there exist one I would also need to buy a DL DVI switch which is uberly expensive, unless I can contend with switch it manually

Capture card is another way but there is no affordable one with component input, and I really don't want to connect my PS2 thru composite or s-video....

And for next gen console, XBox 360 support VGA output...can I use a VGA-DVI adapter? or I need a Analog-Digital converter as this monster support digital input only? But this device will be uberly expensive... and I also need a DL DVI switch.....

And PS3.... it support HDMI, BlackMagic just come out will a HDMI capture card, but seem there are issue concerning it HDCP funtctionalities....If I am not going to watch any protected media on PS3, can I use it to game at 1080i thru my PC (as this capture card does not support 1080p...shame...)? or can I use HMDI to DVI adapter? But again I need a switch....

and I see someone mentioned that most capture card will incur a 0.5 second delay, which render most console game unplayable......
