PS Does anyon know if it's possible to connect an LCD PC monitor
directly to a DVD player? The DVD player is about ten years old and
has an S-video output, plus a scart output and a number of phono
outputs
Not unless the PC monitor has an anlogue input. Either SCART, or
possibly a yellow phono socket for a composite input. Otherwise, use
a cheap laptop computer as a DVD player. I bought one that would do
the job for a fiver from the local car boot sale a couple of weeks
ago.
All PC monitors have analogue input. The issue is scan speeds.

And the sync signals. Will VGA monitors work without the H and V sync
signals on the correct lines?

All of which can be overcome by giving Maplin £160 or so for a
converter box. Or an unknown eBay supplier £60 plus delivery.



Thanks..Would this item do the job: http://tinyurl.com/3m6bmg2 ?


It should, but double check with the seller on the 0844 number near the
bottom of the page. It seems to accept either composite video, for which
you'll need a phono to BNC converter, available for pennies from Maplin,
or S-Video, both of which you say you have on your player.
