Hi there, I've been given an old flat screen TV with a 4 pin S-Video socket and the old phono sockets; does anyone know if there is any way of connecting this as my monitor to me R Pi?

    There should be a yellow Phono connector on there for composite video output.

    Hadn't thought of that; I've just checked and surprisingly I don't have a phono lead in my toy cupboard. How well would one work?

    See if you can beg/steal/borrow a cable to test it with.

    The answer is yes but the connector color may vary depending on the PI you have

     

     

     

    The Model B has yellow video connector separate from audio, the model B+ and 2B + has a black connector but the video is still there in the jack
