Re: Distribute TV to LCD screen on the cheap

Thanks Tim,

It looks similar to

@ £37

Or even

http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=219&products_id=3235
http://tinyurl.co.uk/xtrt
@ £26

But I believe that there are some issues with LCD monitors.. From what I
understand I need a device that matches the resolution that the monitors
optimum resolution. I can understand because as anyone that's use a LCD
will
know, if you do not match the resolution the picture becomes blurly in some
sort of way

Because I have HOMECHOICE, SKY, and FREEVIEW. I can simply SWITCH the scart
selector to be able to watch different channels.. I only live in a FLAT so
its not too bad

Andrew,

CPC have this:
http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CPC+Catalogue&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=CS1057966
Priced at 35+vat on the above link, but 32.50+vat if you use the part
number: CS1057901 (on special offer until tomorrow).

Not used it myself, but it's cheaper than GBP 70 :-)
