Title: Need help with my computer space / pong
Post by: tombutler on April 03, 2015, 09:51:00 pm
The black and white monitor isn't working.

I tried to bid on one that was on eBay earlier today but I think someone sniped me.  

Anyone know how to get a hold of a working 15inch  B/W monitor?

I've heard they only come up on eBay like every six months or so

Thats a great idea! Why didn't i think of that!  You should also do the light weight mod to it and drill a bunch of holes in it!

In all seriousness though,

I have read (dont quote me on this) that you can swap in a color tv and only use the red and blue and it should produce the same b/w picture. I havent done a lot of research on it due to the fact that i will never probably own a b/w game, but did find it interesting you can substitute monitors.
