[Coco] VGA monitor w/speakers for CoaC FPGA

[Salvador Garcia]

 RCA in for audio? I was at Goodwill last weekend and saw a 3:4 monitor with RCA audio in (red/white), but only VGA in. The brand was Mag, but I didn't get the model.
It looked like this one:

Oddly, the item referenced by the link has the RCA audio in, bu the description says that it does not include speakers. ???

 Allen,

I'm not sure what you mean by small, but I picked up an inexpensive 19"
16:9 aspect ratio LCD TV/composite/VGA monitor from Goodwill that tags
along with me to various fests for use with CoCoVGA.  I think it might also
have HDMI, although I haven't used it.  Composite video quality is poor,
but good enough to see if a CoCo I'm picking up is working.  Although it is
16:9, it displays 640x480 at 4:3.  Audio in is via an 1/8" headphone jack,
so I have to adapt it from RCA.  Controls for volume (and menu and channel)
are on the side of the display.

I had never heard of the brand, and wasn't sure how it would last, but it's
traveled thousands of miles already.

Hope this helps,
Brendan
