USB - AV Grabbers convertor thingos????

Purchase a 2nd hand monitor?

I had no idea that these existed.

I need one... and a lot of LEDs...

It's like a Play-it-Loud television, just with no loud.

a couple of my friends spent some time in the prison.. i had one given to me and i just plugged computer speakers into it.. they are pretty bad ass they make em clear so you can hide stuff in them lolz also made me realize how little is really going on inside of a tv

see not much going on i was very disappointed... ive put gundam models together with more pieces 

EDIT: i forgot to say before anyone asks they do have av inputs... also i need to find another one of these so i can mount a usb hub and a  raspberry pi on the inside...plus of course a shit tome of LEDs lolz

Wall-mount flat screen bro.

I hate to break the news - but It's a terrible way for the most part.  I have a number of capture devices ranging from $80 to around $5000. 

I bought a cheap USB video cap device similar to the one you linked me as a backup to my mini LCD for Blip fest.  I found the latency made it impossible to have a good / usable experience!  Even though my mini DSE screen was a bit low res - it was instant latency wise.  There might be a newer one that is better but the dead giveaway that the Jaycar one will suck is:

> real time recording MPEG 4/2/1 video formats

Mostly these formats have 18 field GOP structures in their encoder stage - which means a minimum of 350ms delay... if not more.  The problem is that the encoder is in the device - so you can't intercept the raw signal and put uncompressed video to screen.

I do have a couple which are almost zero latency - made by Grass Valley - but they are both broadcast PCI cards and PC only.  I have a Datavideo Firewire box - but even that has a few frames latency.

Black magic make a similar thing for Thunderbolt - http://www.This spam will soon be delet … /intensity -  And reports say it has a 3 frame latency going out (which is what most people are interested in!!)  I'd guess it'd do about the same coming in.  But then again - a lot can happen in 75 - 100ms ... so for gaming, I'm really not sure any USB cap device is going to work.

So seriously; get something like - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vivid-15-4-H … amp;_uhb=1

Or if you don't have a lot of room; you can use something similar to what I use (and Xyce / 8GB also use) - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/L0608-Eonon- … amp;_uhb=1

actually you have to buy the tv with your own money so when you are released you take your property with you (which includes the tv)
