Have a flat panel monitor you aren't using??

I bought one of these,and it works great! Turns your flat panel monitor into a flat screen TV. All you need is a cable connection. No computer. I love mine.

less than $50 shipped. You can also use it if you have a flat pnale TV already that the tuner is bad, from what I read.

another great find John

well I'd been thinking about buying a TV and had about 6  extra monitors. Seemed like a no-brainer to me.

Most newer monitors are set up with two inputs and a built in A/B switch. One could be your computer the other TV. You can watch TV while cutting.

Do you believe this receiver would perform well in marginal reception installations?

[BannerJohn 1,324]

in the US, it won't perform at all. IT doesn't receive over-the-air. One that does that is about $15 more,and they have those too.

DVI and HDMI use the same data to describe video, so if you have a HDMI source and a DVI monitor, you can use a dvi-to-hdmi adapter cable.  They're available all over the place.

Oh, I thought we were sharing ways to re-use old monitors.  My bad.
