Smacking down clueless idiots with the facts since 1999.

An anonymous reader writes "I'm in the process of building up a MythTv system, and am trying to use this system to replace the TV in my house with a monitor. My only challenge at this point is the game consoles. How can I display those on a VGA monitor? There a huge range of products out there to do this translation, ranging from a few bucks to a few hundred...but very little info about which ones of these work with Linux, or work at all (the cheaper ones, especially, probably use CPU emulation, which I'm leery of).

Has anyone out in greater Slashdot-land tried this and gotten it to work? General thoughts on what you'd use to get the consoles in your house to use your monitor instead of a TV?"
