yep it's daft!

unless the LCD monitor has composite or Svhs inputs, nope, you can't
most monitors only have VGA or DVI inputs nowadays

so can you use this with a laptop?

Would I be right in saying that you can't join this directly up to a TV aerial? It looks like it would need a Freeview box or an NTL or Sky box to provide a video out. And then you need to sort out the sound. But it looks like a great idea, especially if you're monitor has two switchable inputs. If only the postage to Northern Ireland was less than 13 quid...

Mine arrived today.

You can connect directly to a TV arial.

You can't connect it to a laptop (unless the laptop has video in I guess.)

No it's not daft, because Freeview boxes ought to have RGB outputs. As for the levels and scan rates I don't know.

Ordered an Acer Ax120 at approximately 2 pm today, just received email from MISCO saying:

"Dear Mr XXXX,

I must have been lucky.I ordered mine at 8.30 and just recieved e mail saying it has been dispatched.

Mr_Gordon_2

Seems I was lucky too, also had the dispatch email. I'm still wondering if this was the correct price as it seems very cheap compared with other sites. I bought someting similar a couple of years ago to use with a spare tft monitor and it was £130!

Damnit....too late.

Anyone wanna sell their one! :rotfl:
