Hey,

its the kind of monitor they used to hang in trainstations here..
But I know it looks like a computer in the back and has all those ports.

Is there like something i can solder onto the tube to give me RGB input?
Do you know?

I'll be taking a look inside next week anyway but was wondering if generally this could be done..

Thanks in advance!
