I'm not big on technology, obviously.
So, in that light, could someone tell me how this (http://www.amazon.com/W2408-24-inch-Widescreen-Monitor-BrightView/dp/B000RY0PIQ/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1227834673&sr=1-27) works?
Do you plug the cable from the wall into the back of this just like my old fashioned 500 pound TV or is there other special equipment needed?

Never mind, on closer examination I see this is a 'puter monitor but the question still stand for a flat screen TV.

For any electronic device to work, the shaman must come to your house, shake special rattles, and say magic words. If the installer isn't really magic, you'll know because forbidden words will be uttered and there will be discussion about having previously owned the right cable or adapter, and where it might be.

Cables run in the back. They just don't show it in the pictures for aesthetic purposes.

I guessed that but wasn't sure. I thought thought maybe you needed a cable box or something :o
Thanks

Isn't it intended as a computer monitor instead of a TV?

I see USB plugs in the 4th picture and I can't think of a need in TV to switch from landscape to portait orientation.

And if it stops working, a shaman must come back to blow magic smoke. My computer require periodic visits...:rolleyes:

I perform preventive maintenance by burning lavender and sage smudge sticks throughout the house

ETA: WOW!

Ha! $105 is ridiculously AWESOME.

BTW, I use my flat screen monitor (24 inch) just like a TV. W/ netflix "play now", abc.com, nbc.com, hulu etc you really only just sorta need a TV at all.
