Ernie's answer about analog input is right, but
vague.
It won't work as a computer monitor because it's
not likely that your video card has a 480 interlaced
output on a VGA or 5 BNC output.
Even if your video card offers a resolution as
low as 640x480, it will be progressive.
This is not a progressive scan monitor, it is
a monitor like you would have found in a control
room at a TV studio. They may have used RGBHV
connections, but it was still an interlaced NTSC
signal being routed around.
IMO, this thing probably has a jillion hours on
it and probably isn't worth the time and effort
you will be putting into it.
Well, I see your point. But on the other hand it is already sitting in my entertainment center, fit's perfect, picture is great, and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 480I HDTV territory, even if it is the low end? Do they make video cards that would work with this? The reason I am asking is since it is old, the video cards from that "era" are cheaper than white bread.
