Preferred way of substituting TFT for CRT Monitor?

[Dave Wade]

Assuming you are in Germany I would use an LCD TV with SCART I assume
devices with SCART inputs are available there. Does Aldi in Germany do
weekly offers as in the UK. I especially bought one of their TV's because it
had a wide range of inputs.
