Any 26" lcd with component inputs and aspect ratio?

[DG25]

Do you know any 26" wide lcd monitor (not tv), tn or pva/ips, with component inputs and aspect ratio options that work?

Get the Doublesight and just use a cheap $2 component to DVI adapter. It has 2 DVI inputs

That won't work with a PS2 or Wii..

Yea the component to dvi converter only works one way (dvi input to component out)....

But you can use it if you have component cables for the Wii or PS2 and if you buy this:

Component Video to VGA converter

This is a powered unit unfortunately, but it is the only way supposedly to get Component to VGA/DVI.

Or you could just buy this for the Wii...

Thanks for the links, i knew about them, for the Wii it's working, but not for PS2, the vga box must support interlaced scan mode as well as progressive scan, and most of the pal games are interlaced and don't work well with vga boxes. And it's not an elegant solution for PS2.

Yea only 480p... no 480i...

Sucks for the PS2.

So as far as a perfect monitor with multiple inputs that is good for gaming, I've looked all over. Can't find a single one... especially not a 26 inch. Been doing research for 2 months now.... So I finally decided to get the Doublesight... but I don't have to deal with the PAL issues on the Wii, and I have a PS3... I'll be sacrificing Gamecube games, but I could care less about that at this point.

The Gateway FHD2400 would be nice, if it didn't have the MASSIVE issues with progressive BLB. You can limit your progression by turning down the brightness to 0, but once it occurs it can get VERY bad in some cases... But that's a 24 inch.
