Quick Television question RE: RCA monitor output

gUEv

Senior member
I am selling a 60" philips TV (if you in are in so cal and are actually looking for a TV, pm me or just check out LA craigslist under electronics and you can check it out)


I was hunting behind the TV to get the model number and build date when I ran into a new set of plugs that I had usually looked over.

I have 3 RCA inputs/1 component input, S-video in blah blah blah

but this is a set of RCA's that read "Monitor Output"

forgive me if I'm dense, but what does this mean? what is this actually used for? Hooking up a smaller/another TV to the television signal? I dont quite get it.

It doesnt really sound professional to say "yeah it has an RCA monitor output, but...im not really sure what that means"

😛

if someone could enlighten me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks very much guys.
 
i guess i am dense, im still not grasping.

you output the rca from the tv, to another tv and they will display the same signal?

sorry if there is something i am missing, but i appreciate your help
 
Yes, a monitor is a TV. When proffessionals talk about monitors they usually mean those little square tvs that you use with video editing and whatnot to check the final output.

I wouldn't say this is a definitive answer though.
