watching tv on a monitor
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2007 4:45 pm
My tv died a while back and I've been determined not to have to spend hundreds replacing it, so the other day I got a monitor for free from someone on Freecycle (though I had to pay for a taxi to bring it home) and today I got a old model Gadmei TV Box from ebay for £4.50 in total. So now I'm set up with a new tv for the princely sum of £8.50.
The tv-box takes the input from a normal scart-phone lead and converts the signal to VGA. It also has a standard aerial socket too, so it will pick up broadcast channels if required.
To get a tv that gives this quality of picture I would have had to have spent at least £120, so this is a total result!
