The problem you're going to run into with the cheapo (<$80) converters is that few, if any, support wide screen monitors. If your computer monitor can't pillarbox a 4:3 signal, you're NOT going to like the horizontally stretched results.
In general, you can buy a newer DVD player with HDMI output for the same money or even less than this converter would cost. As others have mentioned, it would give a better picture than a composite to VGA converter.
I am assuming that the monitor has an HDMI input.

That may or may not work. DVI actually has two standards built in DVI_A (analog) and DVI-D (digital) If it takes a DVI-D signal, you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter plug and conect. Of course, you need another solution for audio in any case.
Yay! We finally got there after 10 probing questions. I second Diogen. You still need an audio solution though.
Really? I guess I'm not familiar with 'spearkers'. Is that some piece of magic that also amplifies the audio to make the sound usable at speakers? Do they convert line level impedances to the 6-8 ohm impedance speakers use?
I imagine that Dan is talking about amplified speakers, but given the vagueness of everything else in this thread, it really isn't safe to assume.
I'm just trying to help here. That felt like an attack and was uncalled for.
If the OP indicated they had audio figured out, suggesting that it remains to be solved is a slap in the face.
