If regular cable, you need to run through a VCR or something, and then go to a composite (RCA) that plugs into your monitor. At least that's how I've always done it.

1000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI and better reviews (well it HAS reviews, 24 at newegg)

or this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16889114017

no reviews, no hdmi, 1200:1 contrast ratio, and imo it looks nicer (asthetically)

it's hard to say really. I honestly wouldn't expect much from either.

The olevia will be much better, if you were to get that. It may be a somewhat off brand as well, but is considered to be one of the best off brands. I have a 37" olevia and it rocks.
