I use an adapter from Black Box Corporation, Code: ACD002, Item 13W3 Male - HD15 F, Gender Changer. Web site is <www.blackbox.com> Works great. I connect to any VGA monitor (CRT or LCD) without a problem. We have a NEC LCD1800 and a ViewSonic VG191 that work really well. My main concern with an LCD display is if someone were to be holding a permanent marker in their hand while pointing to a display. Will the permanent marker leave a mark that won't come off?

This is a black monitor, but you can get a white one as well. = You can find suppliers on the internet. The prices are dropping. I = noticed you can get one now for around $875.00 or less. The connector I used to connect the standard Foxboro cable to the new NEC = Flat Monitor was from L-com which can be found on the web at www.L-com.com = . The part number is CTL4CAR-1.5 (VGA Breakout Extension Cable - HD15M to = 4 BNC Jacks). This has worked well for us.

If possible we would like to use standard monitors available almost anywhere. The problem is the BNC to RGB conversion. Has anyone had any experience with this? Could you steer towards a source for converters/cables? thanks, Ken Moore National Starch & Chemical Woodruff Plant Enoree, SC IMPORTANT NOTICE: This email is confidential, may be legally privileged, and is for the intended recipient only.
