[Maced] LCD DISPLAY

[Quentin Hall]

Dear David


The old, traditional iMac's which have the oval panel underneath that  
once removed have a nice Mirrored video out port in a VGA standard.    
I can't say what resolution it will go to but it's a great use for an  
old iMac!

Just about any LCD with VGA (sometimes called Analogue) screen would  
do - but if you get a huge one and connect it to a low resolution  
screen it might look a bit tacky.  No one will be looking at the  
picture in a detailed sense, it's a slide show sort of like at Coles  
checkout tills.  I hope your staff are cheerier than they are!   :-)



Regards
