Mitsubishi Monitor

connectors which have one central pin and the shield. Some sockets have a forked contact for the centre connection which may look like 2 pins, though. <Dave replies> Yes, It does have two pins. Maybe we are talking about different pins. I am talking about the silver protrusions that extend radially on the outside of the round BNC connector, that hold the twist-on female connector. But in the center of the connector there is something that looks like a small slot for a wire to insert into, maybe like a coaxial cable for a TV fits in. watch out. At least one of my monitors -- and I think it was a Mitsubishi -- has an DE15 input connector that's _not_ wired as a normal VGA connector. It came with a specail cross-wired cable that has to be used the right way round, and the only visible difference between the ends is that one end has black insulation between the pins, the other end has white. <Dave replies> Both of the 15 pin connectors on the back of my monitor are black, so maybe I won't have that problem. There is one 15 pin connector that is grouped by itself, while the other 15 pin connector is grouped with the 5 BNC connectors. Additionally, on the back of the Mitsubishi monito there is a small green bank of 10 DIP switches, with instructions under them on what the settings (up or down, mean). Any other suggestions are appreciated to help me to avoid hokking up something wrong. Also, are those male-male cables readily available at computer stores? I don't recall ever seeing one on their cable board, for example at Fry's Electronics, a very large chain of computer stores here in California.
