my mates got a 19" lcd monitor he is trying to sell me . but today he said i would need to get a lead to link it to the pc ??? i said my old monitor just had a moulded lead on it which plugged in to the pc. he says he is keeping the one he bought to use with it cos it was £30 and he will use it on his new screen???

he reckons no new monitors come with the aerial leads to connect to your pc cos there are different connections??

is this true or is he trying it on????

its a iiyama prolite e483s by the way

 

Bollocks

All PC monitor leads are generally the same, a female at both ends and a male in the middle, oooeeer



There all as above mate, he pulling the wool, plus my Dell Monitor came with all the leads.

 

All monitors come with the required leads, think hes trying it on

 

but with the lcd monitors are the out put or inouts the same ??

my shit monitor ive got now has the lead moulded into the back so you cant take it off. do the lcd ones come with just female outputs to put leads in ???? cant believe the lead he has is £30 !

he got the pc made for gaming so i know it has a brillant graphics card in it etc perhaps thats why he had a new lead??

 

my 19" advent lcd screen has a male vga plug on the back so then you need a double ended female vga lead which was supplied with mine.

 

Possibly woodz, my graphics card was £500 and i had to buy an adaptor to make my PC lead fit.

Either way he should have an old lead kicking about OR tell him to knock off £10 so you can buy one from a backstreet PC shop.

 

i can find the monitor for £166 + vat so thats about £200 but he has had it for 2 weeks and wanted £100 for it . but it hasnt got a receipt for it cos he dad got it off a mate

so i said id give him £80 for it cos if it ever goes wrong i cant take it back?????

seem fair to you ??

 

got a link to it? make, size and spec etc?

 

All monitors come with the leads. I have loads of those leads so if you need one pm me

 

got mine fom pcworld for £160 about 8 weeks ago.

 

cheers mate !!

 

heres a link to the monitor. does it say what lead i need in all that computer jargon?????????

Included accessories Power Cable, D-Sub Cable, audio cable, user manual

the only variable is whether your graphics card has a DVI connector, older style VGA D-sub connector or both?

The monitor has both DVI and D-sub, so you just need the cable to match your graphics card. If you have both on the graphics card, then choose DVI.

Not worth arguing about a monitor cable IMO, they are so cheap it will cost you more in bus fares to go and get one

 

lovely

 

As said, most PC monitors will have either 15 pin d-sub (VGA) or DVI, or both on them. 15 pin D-Sub (VGA) is the blue ended one and DVI is the white ended one;



From memory, the Iyama monitor has both, but it depends on what your PC has. Have a look, and if you have a white connector that looks like the one in the pic, then get yourself a female to female DVI lead. If you don't have that, you will have the blue VGA connector, so get yourself a female to female VGA lead.

Most, if not all, monitors will come with the basic VGA cable, many will come with a DVI cable aswell. Your old monitor is like my old one - has the cable built into the monitor so it just needs attaching to the PC.

If your mate bought himself a £30 lead, then he should still have the standard one it came with.

However, if it came from a "mate" ( ) then he might only have the screen and thats it

Either way, you can get a cable from virtually any PC shop, or the likes of Curry's, Dixons, PC World etc for a few quid - no need to spend £30 IMO.... Less than a tenner will be fine

 

Good monitor iiyama, bargain with or without the lead!
