tonymaslen Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I have Acquired a gateway 21" VX110 monitor.....after spending much time searching the tinternet looking for info.... I have decided that the best place to ask for info is of course the Blue-room! My question is this.... on the back of my monitor I have 3 connectors, 5 BNC's, 1 D-Sub, and a round pin serial connector. I understand what the BNC and D-sub are for however am most perplexed over the round serial connector with 8 pin connections....is this just another video connection or does this monitor do touch screen or am I just living in a dream world!?!? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Tony I've found a picutre of the rear of the monitor, but I can't see the serial connection on it... here. Perhaps you have a modified version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 is it a din socket? as ive a very ancient monitor( top of the range jobby with 3 selectable colours for text ,green,amber or white ) to go with my 286 that uses them for the video connection.

Brian Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 If you click on the image in Peter's post it hyperlinks you to a page which says... This monitor contains a RS232 (Sony Serial) serial interface input connector next to the AC input. To use this connector, a serial interface kit may need to be purchased. This connector can be used by devices that support the RS232; for example, a camcorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaslen Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I've found a picutre of the rear of the monitor, but I can't see the serial connection on it... here. Perhaps you have a modified version? having clicked on your link.... the socket is there its the one to the left of the D-sub socket and to the right of the IEC socket, which above it states it to be a serial socket. Now I have never come across a socket that has 8 pins in this configuration as S-Vhs is 4 pins and a plastic locator in the middle....I guess this monitor is OLD and hence has a random connector for this use!
