I am a Grandmother buying a monitor for first time. I read reviews &amp; several of the mothers bought extra equipment. What extra equipment do I need to buy?

I like this monitor, however I had problems with the first one I ordered. I ordered a new one and at times the screen will display broken images. Almost like the Monitor has damage. Not sure how else to describe it to you. I have to turn it off and turn it back on to get it to work properly. As for the extra equipment, we never purchased anything other than what came with the monitor. Good luck! and Congratulations!!

Anyone works! An older monitor needs an adapter for the USB port. Get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Can't beat this for the money!

I do not recommend buying it. Mine is already not working and all I was using it for was a backup monitor. If you go with it good luck!

I don't think our monitor came with a DVI cord (it's been a long time); so, to be on the safe side, assume that you will have to supply the cord. (Amazon, please provide information about the DVI cord and how to purchase one if it is not included.)

It takes a standard monitor cord (which I think is the 15 pin monitor cable) that can be purchased at any electronics store or on Amazon. As it is an older model I seriously doubt it will come with a monitor cord but depending on the seller it might. Generally the cord will run in cost between $4 - $10.

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

An hdmi cable comes with the monitor. It works great. My hp obly had a mini display port so I had to buy an adapter. But you should be fine.

This monitor is a lemon. The parts to repair it cost more than a new one. Check out the Dell 25 or 27 inch monitors (you'll need the soundbar attachment).

I was not able to purchase just the monitor. I had to purchase the camera/monitor combo :( After going through 3 broken Lorax video monitors, I finally switched to the Summer Multi-view - much, much better quality!

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.

I am confused. I thought the test sticks are sold separately and that I would need to buy a monitor which is around $200 and another $40 for the test sticks? Can someone please clarify. Thanks!

You could use the TV you got at home or buy an HP or any computer monitor, you could pick one up for round $100 at one of your local shopping centers . All the cables you need come with the camera and the DVR unless you need it longer you'll have to buy that separate. I hope I was able to answer your Question.

Should work just fine....hold off on buying anything...usually all cables come with the monitor

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

Thank you for your advice, Sandra. Yes, I connected the monitor via HDMI. So now I have 3 cable, HDMI, DVI to D-Sub, and DVI to DVI cable. Which cable do you suggest to make a good picture ? Thanks again.

My purchase came fully complete...nothing else needed other than setup. The six monitor setup has been a winner all the way. Very adjustable, very solid...a solid product. Hope that helps.
