not sure, but it would depend on whether or not the video card supports dual displays. ati's radeon series and matrox video cards support dual displays. might want to drop that 420 guy a private message, he runs a dual display setup.

try comondor 64 (or 65?, not sure which it is.) they were designed as both. When I was in boarding school we weren't allowed tv's so some people brought these in claiming them as computer monitors and then at night hooked up the n64 and vcr's.
they work great, I'm not sure how much they go for of if they even make them anymore but look around.

^^^That is the ultimate goal, but I cant afford one of those right now.
I used to do this in grade ten: Hook up a projector in our caf, along with a 1200W pro sound system, and some yorkville par cans (stage lights) set up behind us.
We would play goldeneye on the theatre-sized screen and massive sound, with the lights (set to flash to music) going crazy whenever a gun was firing or something exploded.
That was cool. That was the only time I ever really had fun playing a video game. (not including my flight sim, but I dont use that as a game, i'm in flight training.)
All I want to do now is have a dual-screen configuration when I move away for school. I dont have the money for another monitor, so I was hoping I could use a TV as a second one.

Why not just buy a second monitor Dave? They're so cheap. I'm thinking about upgradeing my 17" to a 19" in the next little while....I'll let you know if I'm selling it.
I've set up my dad's projection system in my apartment before. It's lots of fun to play games on the wall.
