Rabbits ears to Scart

The-Baron

Hey I'm looking at buying this 20inch TV/Monitor.

One small niggle I'm having is that it doesn't seem to take rabbits ears(composite I think....), does anyone know if I can get a pair of rabbits ears that plug into scart or if there is a way to convert?

Cheers for any help

Composite is a completely different signal to "rabbits ears".
What are you trying to connect to the TV? Are you trying to receive free to air TV stations such as RTE1, TV3, etc?
It looks more like a computer monitor than a regular LCD screen.
If that is the case and you are trying to plug a "rabbits ears" into it then it won't work. You'll need a TV tuner card in your PC.
You can't convert from RF (rabbits ears) to composite or scart.
Hope that helps!

Yup , thats an LCD TV , and it only has a scart input , so its no good with rabbits ears , which are meant to be input into the RF " composite" input on some TV's ( this connection is fast disappearing I notice ...).

Asking for a Rabbits ears to Scart cable is going to get you laughed out of every shop in the country , seriously , so if you really need to tune that way then get a better brand TV with an RF connection.

Now , in all honesty , that is a brutal TV .... and it really is , I wouldnt spend 20 euro on it never mind 100 , its only 640 x 480 , how the hell your supposed to look at two documents with that res is beyond me unless they are plugging it as a separate monitor.

And rabbits ears must be the single worst way to look at TV in this country , you will spend your time waving them around like a lunatic trying to get a decent picture on a CRT , never mind this pile of junk.

My recommendation is to stay well away from it.

Cheers for the help, same to you industria. TV's and the like are not my strong point, as I'm sure you can all tell.
Ill ignore that TV like the plague then, I don't know why I thought this was a decent buy.
Anyhoo, can anyone recommend a decent TV I could use as both a pc monitor and take in RF/Scart?

Cheers again!

Here are two , I have the second for the kitchen , its very very nice.

Shop around , you may find these models even cheaper , but take a look at the resolutions , that's what you should be aiming for ..
