Family FAQ

Is there a computer monitor that can double as our flat-screen TV?

The Online Family answers:

Many LCD flat-screen computer monitors also include TV-compatible VGA output so you can plug the monitor into your TV cable box, too. Some manufacturers now also advertise computer monitors that double as high-definition TV screens, such as a new model by Samsung or Sony.

Tech Tip

Printer Power

Always shut down your printer using its power button, versus your power strip's on/off switch. Otherwise, its print heads might not line up and print properly when you turn it back on.
