Hey y'all,
I found a pretty great NEC CRT monitor the other day. I'd like to set it up to where I could hook up computers as well as old consoles to it.
I know there are AV switches and KVMs, but is there anything that includes a ton of different inputs and outputs? Usually between the two they either cover computer-type inputs or media device-type inputs, with no crossover. Unfortunately, this monitor only has one hard-wired VGA cable coming out of it for input.
I've searched a bit but came up short for some kind of AV switch/KVM with perhaps options for anything from VGA to composite? Even if I had to forgo the convenience of USB/PS2 inputs found on KVMs, I'd be fine if there was a AV switch out there that had like, every analog option possible available for all of its inputs. And then some analog/composite output option.
I'm sure there will be some converters or dongles involved in this kind of thing somewhere along the line, but if anyone has done such a thing before, connecting computers and consoles up to one CRT monitor before, I'd love to hear about your setups. Avoiding input lag is a goal here too of course, for the games part.
Thanks for any info!
