Subject: Monitors
I have quite a lot computers which rely on lowscan monitors or
televisions. As a lot of my monitors from Philips broke down on me
with a big flame from the HT transformer, I decided to buy a LCD
television/VGA monitor with both composite and RGB inputs.
My Samsung SM910MP is great, playing with my BBC and have Picture in
Picture to watch TV!
This should take me another 10 years until I have to find another
solution for the defective monitors.
Good luck!
