hi all,

I'm looking for a 16inch or smaller monitor, just to trouble shoot my nas, the NAS is sitting in cupboard, so smaller the better.

dont need anything fancy, just need the VGA port on it.

base in West auckland or New Market during business hours.

if you have a old retired monitor that needs a good home, please let me know

thanks,

Sam

I have a 17inch one https://www.cnet.com/products/philips-170b7cb-lcd-monitor-17-series/

Sounds like that is too big, but just putting it out there.

Just as a general reply to this, if you need something like this more than once you can get from your favourite crapvendor portable metal-cased LCD panels that take input from VGA, HDMI, composite, etc and run off a 12V plugpack. Most of the time you don't need them, but then when you need them you *really* need them. I've used the one I've got for exactly the same thing the OP mentioned, reconfiguring NASes and NVRs and the like, testing suspect video cards, etc.
