can't get it to work as a TV. [:D]Dumpster find Venturer 26" wide screen from 2007, no remote. It had the potential to be the newest and largest screen TV I've ever owned. Unfortunately I can't get it to switch to channel 3 so I tried it as a monitor. Odd that the same buttons to get to PC mode were the same as the channel up/down.Any thoughts?

They still exist? , all the ones I knew of closed. Anyway, I tried a universal remote from around 2011 but it didn't cover the model. I did find a code to turn it off but that was all, it didn't even turn it back on. [8|]

any universal remote should work with it, unless that's the part that's broke!

[:D][:D][:D] I got it to work! What a hassle and even with wide screen it still crops off the corners that have the time/temperature on the news though. The people look shorter and fatter than it seams they should also. [:D][:D][:D]Good overall picture though I figure if the power ever goes out I may need to figure it out over again. It was something like a menu and doing an auto-scan.Maybe it's worth finding a remote for now, I didn't want to spend the money before if I just had to recycle it anyway.
