Re: [sgroup] Video cable for S-550, S-760?

Thanks, everybody. I guess I want to find a small, cheap monitor with RCA and s-video in which allows me to easily switch between the two - hopefully through a switch on the front of the monitor but a remote would be OK. A quick search on ebay shows lots of options, but I don't know if I want a 42" big screen TV on my keyboard rack. :) Jesse
