[Maced] LCD DISPLAY

[Anthony Citino]

Wondering why you wouldn¹t use a cheap dvd player to drive the screen. Then
there would be no issue with resolution. Just burn a new CD or DVD for new
set of pix.

Some LCDs have usb stick and digital still camera cards input which will
allow you to Œslide show¹ your photos. Would save plugging in yet another
device to mains and save space.

If you still think the imac driven solution suits best and there is an issue
with resolution have a look at the following app:

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
