Okay, I have to set up my desktop today because the laptop is crapping out again but it didn't come with a monitor and I'm using the TV which was hooked up to the computer as a TV now to watch animal porn.

I want a 19" or 20" monitor.  Someone told me I should get one that has a 5ms or smaller refresh rate because if I went any slower, I would get ghost images when I gamed.  Any ideas?

Oh yeah, I would like to spend considerably less than 2 Bennys.
You should be more like Cantrip.

How do you connect your computer to a TV anyway? What cables do you need? Is it good quality, beacause I would like to connect my computer to my 32" TV and play some games, just to try it...  I have nothing else to do anyway.

It's a ViewSonic TV with a VGA and DVI input.  Frickin' great for sniping in DM. I could switch back and forth, but could not play and watch TV at the same time. 

After I posted I saw an ad in the Sunday paper and said fuck it.  I went to Best Buy and picked up an ACER 22" monitor that was on sale which met my requirements.  End of story.

i had my PC hooked up to my 42" wide using the regular RCA cables. My PC came with a VGA to RCV converter cable so I can hook up the video card to PC.
