For Christmas my parents gave me something quite beautiful, a 19 inch NEC Flat Panel monitor. After playing some DVD's in the DVD rom drive, I realized the picture looked as pretty and as crisp as on the real LCD TV's at Best Buy that are hundreds of dollars cheaper.

So, I want to stop using my 27 inch TV and start using my flat panel as what I view everything on. The monitor only has the DVI/VGA connector, so nothing else.

What do I buy so I can hook up cable and DVD and PS2 to it? Like, a coaxial input, an RCA input, and an S Video input similar to my TV?

What is the easiest option? And what is the cheapest option?

I am only aware of several DVD players with DVI output. Samsung and V Inc.

My HDTV receiver has a DVI output.

I have no idea how you would connect cable or PS2 to this display device.
