Abstract
Most Raspberry Pi projects need a display of some kind, unless it is being used as an embedded system. These days there are nice HDMI monitors and nice touch screens available. But these displays still command a fair investment. This chapter will explore inexpensive, used VGA monitors. With the correct type of adapter and Pi configuration, you can repurpose some used VGA LCD screens. VGA monitors will eventually become scarce, but while they last, they are a boon to the maker.
