Cheap large monitor or LCD tv with VGA in
Jasper - 18/2/08 at 10:13 AM

I need a 28 ish inch monitor/TV (with VGA in) to use for training instead of the projector/screen set-up I've been using.

Anybody got a secondhand one they want to sell, or know of a cheap option? Doesn't need to be widescreen.

Just before Christmas i bought a AOC LCD TV from a certain well known board member who sells computer equipment.

It was 32" so slightly bigger that what your looking for but does have VGA input among many others. Im not sure that i would use it as a computer monitor but it would be fine for what your looking at using it for. The price was also very good.

Have you looked at Dabs, Microwharehouse, Scan etc. They usually have a few good deals on monitors and a few TVS

Please please please, never buy anything from Scam International unless you want to be shafted when stuff goes wrong. I sent a mobo back 3 times at £16 a go to them only to have them return it saying it was fine. I had to report them to Epox(y) HO in the end and they sent me a new one after another main epox dealer posted them an engineeers report.

Dabs on the other hand have always been great to me.

That was a good tip - they have a 26" for £209 delivered - which is amazing - I might get away with that size - it's only for Powerpoint and they'll only be 6-8 feet away....

My 50" Panasonic plasma has a dedicated PC monitor input - you should see my emails now!

That's what I'll be doing later in the year when I can afford the 42" Pioneer ....
