On the other hand you can go for it, bit only if you want to spend about $500 for the support electronics, power supply and a lot of work to make a $120 LCD monitor. Otherwise, just sell it for parts on ebay and use whatever you get towards a real LCD monitor. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85.

I wanted to use the panel as a tv in my bedroom (with TV tuner that has VGA output) Thanks for the information -- You're not paid to think. A mindless worker is a happy worker.
