I guess your talking about something like this? http://www.viewsonic.com/support/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/vb50hrtv/ Look around as there is more stuff like this too.

Yeah, I had that one a couple years ago and it worked well. I think you can get them on ebay pretty reasonably... but when you can get a decent 20" tv with built in speakers for like $100, I don't know if it's the greatest idea unless you're looking to save space.

I'm looking to use my 17inch spare monitor to replace the 13inch tv i have right now. the tv still works great, for being massivly old, but I would like a bigger screen. thanks for the link!

I have this exact model. It did us great when we moved and had no furniture in our house. I hooked the cable up to this and the monitor and we were good to go for a while.

You dont need the super high end models this will do the job.
