I bought a used Acer monitor at a computer show. It was the end of the day and I saw a monitor with a small crack in it at fire sale prices. Understand, I mean a small crack in the plastic case, not the CRT itself.
It was the end of the day, I was tired, and I never looked at it closely.
<cue melodramatic music>
So this evening I decide to re-arrange my lab and give my new (to me) monitor primacy of placement at my main workstation.
Only, I don't have the usual cord coming out the back that connects to the video card.
What I DO have is, from left to right, a female DB-15 connector and a row of BNC connectors labeled as follows:
R, G/SYNC, B, H/H+V, V
What the heck have I got here?
Do I just need a double headed male DB-15 connector or do I need a video card with RGB output?
(BTW, I do have that double headed cable, which came with the monitor.)
Or do I have something that just isn't going to work with a Wintel box no matter what I do?
