Sorry if it's an entirely dumb question, but just want to be sure as the description doesn't actually state that it can be used as a monitor, and I don't want to find out it can't after I've bought the TV. :hihi:

Now, can you tell me if the lead I have with my current CRT monitor is the sort I need - or will I need to buy another one? ricky36 30-04-2008, 21:39 Bless you! Now, can you tell me if the lead I have with my current CRT monitor is the sort I need - or will I need to buy another one? take the lead with when you buy the tv and see if it fits if you are buying online go into a shop and check. normally you will have to but a new lead to fit because the one you have may be to short. I take the lead you already have Dozy 30-04-2008, 21:46 take the lead with when you buy the tv and see if it fits if you are buying online go into a shop and check. normally you will have to but a new lead to fit because the one you have may be to short. I take the lead you already have Well, I'm getting it from Argos, so I'll take the lead with me and then go and have a coffee and try it out!! If it isn't right, I assume I'll be able to get one from Maplins(?) - that shop opposite the Peace Gardens, they've helped me with stuff before. Thanks again for your help.

I still have a black and white Bush with valves.. Ok that looked.... REALLY bad. Ill bugger off. Yeh - I'm dead posh, I am! A whole £79.99 for an LCD TV/Monitor, when will my extravagance end? If you don't watch out, I'll be trading you in for a more up-to-date, high-tech model :hihi: Jabberwocky 30-04-2008, 22:55 Yeh - I'm dead posh, I am!

If you don't watch out, I'll be trading you in for a more up-to-date, high-tech model :hihi: Im the 1960s model and there are lots out there with better specs and more movable parts than me, I may have an obsolete motherboard and my RAM may be a little off kilter, but I have one thing that the newer verisons dont have.. I can smash wine glasses with my farts. NOW tell me you want a younger model! satsuma 01-05-2008, 11:15 Also, you need to check that your graphics card can output a resolution that the TV is capable of displaying. |
