"N64 - Can it be connected to a computer monitor?"

Hi.

Anyone know if the N64 can be connected to a computer monitor? We have one TV and 2 monitors, so it would be soo much easier to use the spare monitor rather than the only TV!!

Thanks,

LH

I haven't tried it, but I doubt it very much that it would work if anyone did.

Welcome to the forum.

I used to have mine connected to a monitor until the screen stopped working.

Welcome to the forum lionheart, and in responce to your question, the answer is no you can't connect your N64 to your PC directly, but it may be possible some other way, but only with a complete PC and not just a monitor, i hope this helps!

I thought you could connect it to your monitor if your using a scart cable, I could be wrong though.

Don't you need a TV card for that?

Yeah probably.

Thanks guys. Nothing definite there, but I think the nail has been hit on the head. The fact that you can use a TV card to get TV pictures on a monitor, means that the resolution and scan rate put out by a N64 obviously works on a TV, then there seems no reason why, maybe using a TV card, it should not work on a monitor.

Cheers and thanks for the welcome.

I hope to stick around but the forum setup seems somewhat basic compared to Delphi. I'll see how I get on with the format ( no insult intended by the way, just an observation ).

Hi Lion.

Im not sure about your question, I don't think so. I could be wrong though.

Welcome again.

It does work with a TV card, as that is what my friend does at school.
