Firstly let me say that I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question. If it is not then it'd be nice if a moderator could move it to the appropriate forum.
I have a 22"
LCD Samsung SyncMaster P2250 monitor and Altec lansing 2.1 speakers that are just lying around. I was wondering if I could use them together as a TV.
I have an Airtel Digital TV DTH connection, I found a tutorial on instructables but it lacked any detail, the only thing that I found was that my monitor does support HDCP. If I can get the display to work then the problem would be with sound, how can I get the speakers to work and also I be able to change the volume with a remote control. (Changing channels won't be an issue as that depends on the Set top Box)
Has someone experimented with this sort of a thing? If so please share your experience and I'd specifically like to know what additional hardware I'll need to get the setup working.
2what outputs does your DTH box have? likewise, what inputs does your TV have? – Journeyman Geek – 2012-12-02T14:34:20.183
It doesn't matter the iputs on his TV, as he doesn't want to use the TV, but the Samsung monitor instead. – That Brazilian Guy – 2012-12-02T14:38:51.357
1My monitor has vga and dvi inputs. As for the set top box I'll look and tell you. – nikhil – 2012-12-02T14:53:16.887
The set top box has the following outputs TV out, SVideo out, Audio L and R and one USB Port. I don't know if its SVideo, there are three small outlets with Yellow Red and White colored wires going out into my TV. – nikhil – 2012-12-02T17:43:19.563
