Well its a HD capable monitor? =/ It has HDMI.. wait here is the link.

So I guess analog, DVI and HDMI. Currently I'm using HDMI connections with my 360 and my PS3. Would either the PS2 or the Wii look good on a HD capable monitor?

Yeah looks like component is the only available connector other that RCA. The Wii doesn't do HD, it only displays in 480 so I don't think they are bothering with HDMI cables for it.

You're HDTV should have component cable connections on it, mine did and it's not even a really big name brand. However if you don't have component connectors then yes that would work.

Mine's plugged in via component video (red/green/blue) cables. It's just a cheapo aftermarket one I got at Walmart that's a universal cable for other consoles.

I should edit the title of my post. Not an HDTV but a Full HD monitor by LG.

And no it doesn't have component, just HDMI and DVI-D?
