- Yes, go see your local Sams Club, they have a (Toshiba?) 'TIMM' in a
- 20" size. Has the usual tv tuner too. Its a .58mm strip tube, so the
- image is a bit coarse for close viewing, and I think you'll need to
- make up some sort of an interface that splits the miggy output up
- into something RGB that can plug into a trio of RCA jacks on the back
- of it. As I recall, there were 5 jacks, so I expect it had stereo
- speakers too. The big downfall (to me) was the price, just like JVC
- and their S-VHS input, they think that set of jacks and maybe a $10
- OEM cost pcb to make it all work is worth an extra $400 to the user.
- I voted with my checkbook by leaving it in my pocket.
