Monitors
David N7NTN
I have 3 monitors I'm giving away if anyone's interested. If not I'll donate them to Value Village.
They work fine but they don't have HDMI outlets, DVI only. Two are 20"diagonal with slightly different dimensions: 10" x 17.5" & 10.75" x 17" The 3rd one is small: ~15" diagonal 9" x 12" Send me an email if you want one. Otherwise I'll give them away first part of next week. David N7NTN

FYI HDMI is a superset of DVI. Thus it only requires a simple cheap adapter dongle or a DVI to HDMI cable to get monitors with a DVI input to work with an HDMI-only device (like a Raspberry Pi).

Ash, you might want to take David up on one of these monitors even if it isn't 12v. As Steve said an inexpensive adapter would at least give you a monitor that you could use when you are using the your pi at home. Gayland KG7GCF

For an Rpi-3 this adapter cable works.

That's fine, I'll post a last call before I give them away.

I should mention that Value Village usually has 5 or 6 monitors for
sale cheap most of the time. Also various sizes of flat screen tvs.

Be careful buying RPi-4 adapter cables. If you are using the Geekworm heat sink, you will see that the micro-HDMI socket is recessed and fat plugs will not insert deep enough to make proper contact. For example, this cable has a skinny micro-HDMI plug and it works perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K21HSQX
This one has a fat plug and will not work with the Geekworm heat sink: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088NDD4PY Oh, and the plastic around the connector is as hard as a rock and cannot be [safely] carved.

Jim, here's the link Chris' AC9AD provided for the small adapter.
Take a look at his note in the groups.io messages.
