This CRT will work with PS3/PS4/360 ect.. (I'm assuming I'll need a HDfury for PS3/4)

I'm plan on buying this soon, I just want to make sure this will work with everything, and I'm not missing out on any information!

-Thanks!
You would need a VGA adapter. It might look weird because the monitor isn't widescreen.

Do these monitors have a minimum resolution too? I'd like to use a transcoder to play 480P games on the monitor. Does anyone know if this will work?

should work. As far as I understand, most CRTs will support a 640x480 signal

tracking down these drivers can be tricky.

Here's a link to an exe file that will extract a whole bunch of viewsonic drivers:

It definitely works for 480p. I used to use this monitor in 480p with my Dreamcast VGA adapter and the original Xbox using a component to VGA adapter with the Xbox set to 480p.

Thanks so much for the help! Ordered one just in time, they just all sold out of them! Can't wait. Picked up a HDFury 3 and a Transcoder for 480p!
