I bought my Brother-In-Law a DVD player for Christmas and just found out that their TV only has a coaxial in the back. So, I need to find a 25" TV for them that I can hook up the DVD player to that is under $200. I have looked on-line at BestBuy and Circuit City and they have some, but most of them are mono TV's. Any help?

Other Bargains?

hook it up through the vcr, or just get a converter from radio shack

See, now, if I moved this thread to Other Bargains, there's less of a chance that somebody would point out that hooking up a dvd player through a vcr will be problematic because of macrovision. See the HT Hardware FAQ or for more info on this subject.

I'll move this thread to Other Bargains if we can't come up with some ideas here.

The ball is in your court, HT Hardware forum.

You can buy an RF modulator for $30 from Wal-mart, Target, RadioShack, etc. It will allow you to hook up the video signal to their existing TV. (It converts the composite video signal from the DVD player to the coaxial F-type connector the back of their TV has) It's certainly not the ideal solution, but MUCH cheaper than buying a new TV

You'll still need something for the audio signal, but if they have even a stereo, you can hook up the audio through that.

DO NOT hook up your DVD player through the VCR. It will trigger the DVD copy protection.

Try this TV. Currently out of stock but you may be able to find it elsewhere. Even has S-Video (MUCH better quality).
