I hope someone here can help with this. I bought a Mitsubishi monitor, it's either 36 or 37 inches. No tv tuner of course, but none needed with my Sat and Tivo. I can't seem to find ANY info on it online, and it doesn't help that the sticker on the back is long gone. Here are the features, front buttons include: power, source select, brt, cont, vol, bal, set, call, display off, degauss, down, up and a hard push button on off. On the back for inputs it has:audio in right and left-video 1 and 2, analog 1 and 2, and ttl. It has audio outputs line and controlled and right-left speaker wire terminals. Video inputs include video 1 and 2, both with a yellow RCA and a BNC, along with a switch for high or 75ohms and an S-video in between. It also has an analog 1 with 5 BNC connectors, r,g,b,hg, vd and again each has the hogh/75ohm switch. It also has 2 connectors under a label RGB, one says analog 2 and looks like a wider monitor connector but has 15 pins, the other says TTL and has 9 pins. Last there is another connector labeled external source select and has 9 pins. I tried hooking up the 5 bnc connectors to my computer but got nothing. Any ideas on a model for this or even what the inputs do? I have pics if it would help.

1985? 1988? It's a Professional monitor, for sure. I don't think you could possibly find any info on it in the current Mits consumer type web sites. See if you can find current Mits professional product, and look there for archives.
The RGBHV would not display your computer because it is an analog input and the computer is digital, I think.
Aside from needing the help because it will be cool to know what it does, what it is, the model number, and such, what is the question?
My son got a big Mits a couple of years ago that had similar inputs on it, including an S connection that was two RCA jacks! I'll look up its model number. Maybe that could put you in the right neighborhood.

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.

Ernie's answer about analog input is right, but vague. EXACTLY. I thought that was clear. I like to be well informed and tell what I know, and in this case what I knew was vague. It totally escaped me to think about interlaced versus progressive. 2nd rick is completely right.

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.

OK, I'll correct you. 480I is standard definition. No more no less.
Hey - if you're happy - go for it.
