I have a dell 1905fp lcd monitor and very nice sennheiser headphones and would like to hook these to an hdtv comcast box (motorola 6200) -- I have several monitors and would like to watch tv on one of them. The problem is that the only input on the monitor is DVI, and the only output on the comcast box is component, and I'm not sure how to hook the headphones best. Do I need a headphone amp? They're expensive... Or maybe a receiver with a dvi connection and headphone jack? I can't find cheap ones. Does anybody have a similar setup? Thanks! |

You can not hook up any of the components you list above together. |

Casey, thanks for your opinion, but why not?
It would seem to me that at least buying a receiver with a DVI output and a headphone jack and using a regular dvi-dvi cable between the receiver and the monitor and also connecting the hdtv cable box to the receiver via a component cable should do the trick. The monitor is HDCP compliant and should be able to handle hdtv signal just fine, no?
