Using a computer monitor for the Singer's Display

What would be the purpose in going from S-Video to VGA.

Might as well use a TV, because that's the resolution you will end up with anyway...Junk.

When using a laptop that doesn't have a second VGA/DIGITAL OUT, I would suggest using a MATROX DUAL HEAD-TO-GO.

This will give you the correct way to interface to a Second LCD Monitor.

What I'm doing is playing at an Opera House at the City hall on a huge stage and thought the extra computer monitor would look a lot nicer up on stage and off to the side for song-cueing purposes only, and then a projector showing on a pull down screen for the audience.

i just checked the prices on these things..they are expensive..maxview converter is a lot cheaper than matrox, which i think will do the same job

Thanx, Bill. I got one of a similar type but it doesn't have the vga out. I would need a "Y" splitter with one going to an rca in and one going to a computer monitor in (VGA 9 pin).
