Re: Using a TV as a PC monitor

["Brown, Andy [Infrastructure]" <AndyB@xxxxxxx>]

I've done this myself, however, the picture does go all over the place
if the video is turned on at the same time.

I use the vga to pal adapter out of the Maplin catalogue.  It works fine
for what I need, but my requirements are very basic.  I display at
640x480 with 16pt text.  Any smaller and it gets difficult to read.

Cheers

Andy
