Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Also interested in this as a tv, but it would be for my mam, who is a complete technophobe. Could you still hook up a VCR/DVD player to it and what about sound? I'm guessing you need a seperate multimedia speaker/sub set up, the monitor and then the tv tuner and would it then be able to connect to the aerial for NTL from the wall?
EDIT: Ah I see it says built in stereo speakers, I wonder how good they are?0 -

Would the screen be much bigger ?
EDIT: Another question on this, I know with certain computer (laptop) screens, you need to be facing the screen directly to see the image properly, would this be the case with this monitor I wonder (therefore not being a good tv replacement)0 -

The horizontal viewing angle is 170 degrees, so you'd need to be sitting at a 5 degree angle to the screen to be unable to see anything, which is very unlikely. The vertical viewing angle is 160 degrees, so again, unless you tilt the screen way up or way down, you should be ok.
Thanks
How would you get a scart connection on a monitor like this? and I wonder does the ebay tuner linked to actually store channels as the monitor itself wouldn't.
Does a normal VCR have a tv tuner? Maybe I could just connec the VCR to this somehow and then use speakers without any need for the tv tuner aswell?0 -

The scart would plug into the tuner box, likely through some adapter. I have a similar tuner box and it stores the channels itself.
I think most VCRs have a tv tuner, but you will lose a bit of quality going from vcr to scart adapter to this. Added to the already low quality of standard definition, it wont be pretty if you're anywhere near the screen.0 -

The loss in quality wont be too drastic though? It'd only be for mo mhami who wouldn't really care about quality as long as she can make out the subtitles in them late night fordin movies she'll be fine
So if using a VCR, all she needs is the monitor, scart converter and speakers. Although the speakers might be ok? Do you know what type of converter she needs to get a scart to this?0 -

Peats have a little tuner which they specifically suggest using for TFT monitors... http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?view_product=1&id=21923&sid=14&cid=139&scid=499. Might be of use to you. I've no experience of using it.0 -
