I've seen one KJ(??) using his laptop screen as his Karaoke display but I doubt that will last long.

As to your 20" monitor, how are you going to mount it for viewing?

Will it be free-standing? (possibility that it might get knocked over)

Is the lead you mention long enough to site it well?

Also on the lead you propose, unless I'm not seeing something, you don't acyually have a link in your post to the item so I doubt anyone will be able to comment.

You are coming out of the back of your PC and going into the external monitor?

That cable won't do it.

VGA to VGA cable. I'm assuming female to male.

First you need to have a duel display feature in your PC. Look in the control panel....display folder and see if you can turn on the #2 monitor. If you can not do this you can not hook up the second monitor for the words.
