They exist.  I saw one at Fry's this weekend, unfortunately, don't
remember the brand/cost. =) I bought a similar device back in '98 from
aimslab.com, but they went out of business about a year later.  A friend
of mine currently has it, uses it to watch DVDs and play his Game Cube
games on a 19" monitor (he doesn't have a functional TV).

And yeah, IIRC, it was about a $100 solution.
