Is it possible to hook up my Consoles to a PC TFT?

So sorry if this has already been posted somewhere.

I've got an LG Flatron L1730s, 16ms for my PC. Had it a few yrs now, but just wondered if I could somehow get my PS2/XBOX/Wii/360/DC running on it somehow as I cant afford these expensive HDTV's but would like a better quality picture.

Any help would be great, thanx!

16ms is kind of slow I think. (Not sure so don't bite my head off )
There is an official VGA box for the Dreamcast although they are pretty rare to find so you better get a 3rd party one.
There is also a VGA cable for the 360. The other's require a VGA box I think.

XBOX 360 & DC can be connected via VGA.

XBOX, Wii and PS2/PS3 can be connected via component via an adapter to your monitor (Might be hard and costly)

Wii might come with VGA Cable eventually.

So if I were you I would investigate an TV adapter card and you can plug your SVideo cable from your console into the adapter and it will have a picture on your pc. But I don't know how good it is for gaming though.

HOW VERY DARE YOU!!!

Only kidding!! I've had this TFT for about 2 yrs minimum so I suppose its old hat by todays terms.
I saw 360 SW Lego 2 playing on a 'Polaroid' HDTV in PC World yesterday & it looked fantastic! Just hoping to emulate the picture quality in some way without forking out an arm & a leg!!

I'm gonna get the Official VGA Cable & see what happens. Maybe I can fiddle with the TFT options to sort it out, maybe it'll be alright. If it dont work too good then I'll just eBay it!!

Okay so what New Monitor should I buy - 4:3 or Widescreen?

I tried my new VGA cable & it works good (thanks Legendary & Stormbreak!), but I just wonder if I'd get a better picture if I got a new/ up to date monitor with a lower ms.

I saw pscl227's post of his vbmenu_register("postmenu_965005", true); TFT on the Set Up thread , it was a Samsung 205BW 20" widescreen, which looked real nice & judging by fella who put up his piccy he seemed to love it. But what about getting a regular 4:3 19" TFT?

What are the pros & cons of both, bearing in mind that it'll be used for my PC for work & my 360 for gaming?
