View Full Version : Cheap LCD or CRT with RCA inputs?

Anyone know where I can find an inexpensive monitor with RCA inputs? I want to be able to hook up a cheap little video camera that mounts on a microscope (which has RCA out).

I'm hoping to be able to find something in the 15" - 17" range, and I'd like to be able to keep it around $200.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Keithf

One of the service techs where I work just picked up a cheap TV that he uses for testing. I think he said he got it at BJ's for around $200. 17" LCD with analog & digital tuners and a full complement of analog line inputs. It's not 16:9, though. It's 4:3.

Thanks Rick. I actually spent some time on eBay this morning and thought I'd bid on a 20"LCD. I would have preferred something new, but got this one for about $120.

Little nervous doing the eBay thing for consumer electronics, but thought I'd take the risk.

Thanks very much for the reply though. I snooped at the Wholesale Club you mentioned and saw a 15" LCD TV for just over $200. If the eBay thing fizzles, I'll take a closer look.

Cheers,
Keith
