[Coco] CM8 or LCD Monitor

[Tim Fadden]

Just as a heads up....

I searched on eBay for those monitors, and the go from $250  to $350.  
You can get a New HDMI led monitor for less than $100 plus a switcheroo, 
and the scart converter for around $75. Seems as a no brainer that the 
swicheroo/scart/hdmi led display is the way to go. Just saying.

Have fun on whatever you get!
