Need a cheap ~£100 TFT with composite input

[Fat Tone]

Just that really. The group don't have more than ~£100 spare and need a TFT monitor that they can connect a video camera to. I'm struggling to find anything that states it has a composite input. A TFT TV with full scart would equally do, but they can't afford the model I found at ~£160.

Any help appreciated for this good cause.

Cheers,

Tony.

Nothing in the Dell range?
(tft at the office is a 22" widescreen with composite and s-video input (apart from dvi and vga))

might have to find something used/ebay.

Dell's monitor prices are surprisingly high when buying them on their own in the uk.

I don't know of any monitors that cheap with other inputs like composite. I'd be pretty surprised if you can find something new for that price.

[Fat Tone]

Thanks, I'm coming to that conclusion. Guess I need to find what the lowest price is that does, and that's look like £140 for a TV with scart.

I found in Sainsburys yesterday a 15" widescreen LCD with SCART, composite, S-Video and VGA input for £89.99.

Bought one for the kitchen computer I've been told to build, but haven't tested it yet. I'll dig out the brand name that I had never heard of when I get home.

Ta, passed on.

Just a thought: what about those portable dvd-player thingies?
(or does it still neet vga/dvi as well?)

It ought te be possible to find one with 2 monitors (the second monitor is most likely connected via a composite cable) in the 7"-9" range or so for quite a low price...

Its come clean time:

This is for a friend (actually currently my boss for a while) who is a bell ringer. They have a camera mounted looking at the actual bells and want something they can all see while ringing. So it needs to be a reasonable size for a group to view, but it also needs to be removable.

I've sent him a few suggestions, but I think he must be very busy with being boss as he hasn't acknowledged them.

Thanks for the thought.

[VJ]

Euhm, what is a bell ringer...?


Jörg

A campanologist...a particularly sad kind of nerd in some peoples eyes.

[VJ]

The weird thing is that the term campanologist makes more sense than bell ringer...

And custom lcd panels? Many of the custom ones (e.g. earthLCD) have composite and power inputs... Of course they lack proper casing...
