I understand, I understand. I suppose I can see how a CRT would differ from a television if picture quality is similar. Trust me, I know why you need to do this, I'm just saying I have doubts that is could be as good. If it is, then that's a wonderful solution to your problem, as it's the simplest and the cheapest method listed in this thread. Would they mind if you set up a little switch box for the monitor you're using. That would make it even easier!
