Title: CTM 644 monitor on modern devices
Post by: privateme on 17:17, 15 March 23
Hi,
I know it's possible to connect a CPC computer to another display, but how do I connect the display to something else? Preferably, I need a HDMI connection, but that definitely isn't possible, so SCART or VGA or something like that will be good so I can buy a dongle to convert it to HDMI. Even then, can it display modern (ish) graphics or is it only 8 bit?? (like windows os or linux)
Thanks.

Upon further inspection and research, I think it's a 6 pin DIN connector but i may be wrong :)

I've seen that one but it's expensive (£12 GBP) so any idea where it's cheaper?

That's not expensive for a handmade cable. It's a bargain.

No I don't and even then I don't have any experience with it. Thanks for the suggestion though!
