does your dvd player have component out? if so then get the compenent to vga.. if not then get the svideo\audio to vga. i guess it should work but that monitor doesn't have any aux input? i find that strange

there isnt really much info given about what the monitor supports natively. i'd say the best thing to do is get a HD upscaling DVD player with HDMI or DVI out and use that through the DVI input on the monitor if it will do 720 or 1080 scaling. they are around $80 now. or even better, a full blown HTPC

the x2vga box ( Neoya X2VGA 2 High Definition VGA Transcoder ) has gotten some mixed results from the DIY projector crowd. but that HP monitor has a high native res, so anyhting not native HD might look ugly.
