There are lots of different montors around, but most of those monitors use standard analogue video interfaces so they can be connected to PC video card with only quite small modifications (correct cable and possibly some simple electronics).

In 2004 AVD introduced the AV15CA series of prompters, which use name brand LCD flatscreen computer monitors as the prompter display. At the same time, we introduced our new EasyReader™ dual-screen software, which mirrors a laptop computer's VGA output while keeping the on-board LCD screen unmirrored and "heads-up". This same feat is accomplished by destop/tower computers by installing a two head video card in an available PCI or AGP slot.
