old dell monitor

[cembros]

i have a 15 inch dell monitor from about 4 yrs ago, i want to use it as a seccond tv monitor so i can watch one station on one tv and another on the dell. Is there anyway that anyone knows how to do this. By the way the dell monitor has no inputs and only has a vga cable.

Probably have to purchase an old channel converter box and find a VGA/RCA convertor.

Sounds costly...

it would be awesome for sports, watching two games on screen with pip and a third on a seccond monitor

I assume this is CRT? Hope you wrapped up you Dell monitor when you stored it. Otherwise, gunk and/or moisture could have accumulated inside and this could well cause your unit to short out after a while of use. Last week I put my improperly stored 17-inch monitor which I didnt use for about a year back to use, and after two or so days it just started smoking and sparking! Good thing I was around to pull the plug...Cheers!
