   I'm using an old 24 inch Technika non smart TV as a computer monitor as   
   we speak. It's at my holiday location, so I just leave it here  with a   
   mouse and a keyboard and bring along the box . It does the job   
      
   I'm always on  the lookout at the local re-cycling for a bigger one (   
   but not too big) .
