Currently I'm trying to get rid of my huge, non HD TV sitting on my desk. I've got a 27" LCD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005127) and I want to get my TV to come through that monitor.

I have Cable TV from Cox going through their converter into a Coaxial cable. But the LCD, as you can see, doesn't have anything except HDMI, VGA and DVI inputs. Is it possible in any way to get coaxial cable somehow into my LCD to get TV on it?

I'm also using it on my Powermac G4 as a monitor, so I thought about a TV converter but I can't seem to find a Mac compatible one, nor do I really even understand how those work...

Thanks for any help

I think you can use HDMI for your tv, but I just putted on my TV hd and contrast is really bad.

yea the contrast might be really bad, if you have a hd cable box you can use hdmi to connect im pretty sure

Sorry I wasn't sure if I mentioned that the 27" is HD, the old TV I'm going to throw out isn't. Im replacing the old one with the 27" HD one. So will a Cable box let me run TV through my new 27"?

Are there any other work-arounds?
