    Mike all of the monitors have VGA and power cables. I will test them and donate them to the Salvation Army. They are always happy to take them.

    Then I guess the question then is what does the Salvation Army do with them?.....Donation is not an option here

    They can be used as a replacement screen for a home based laptop. Always handy.
    I have seen them used as a secondary entertainment setup using a computer with surround sound.
    Security monitoring, better to burn out 4-6 monitors screens from screen burn, than burn squares on a big flatscreen.
    Its handy having two screens in a computer.

    Ryanw is correct, sometimes they are 12 volt & useable in vehicles & RV's.
