Turn Your Monitor Into an HDTV

orangerobot writes "ViewSonic has released an interesting new box that turns any VGA monitor into an HDTV video display with support for standards up to 1080i. At $399 it's a little on the pricey side, but according to the review from EnvyNews, the unit performs pretty well." Like the review, I can't figure out what the target market for this is, but it's still a cool device.

Your computer monitor is larger than your TV. I imagine there are quite a few people here who have a 21 inch monitor and only a little 13 inch tv. Probably even a 5.1 sound system there too.

First you want a VGA output. Then you'll want a mouse and keyboard! And we all know where that leads! The dead rising from the grave! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes-- Riots in the streets, dogs and cats living together, people installing Linux on their Xboxes, mass hysteria!
