Abstract

An extra-monitor control circuit system for monitor includes one or more of an OSD circuit, a scaler circuit, and an A/D converting circuit, and a DC/DC converting circuit. The extra-monitor control circuit system is located at a position outside a monitor, and the DC/DC converting circuit converts power supplied from a power supply of a PC host and supplies the converted power to the monitor. The extra-monitor control circuit system may be in the form of an independent unit adapted to insert into an expansion slot on the PC host, or integrated into a PC graphic card. With the extra-monitor control circuit system, the monitor can be manufactured at a reduced cost and the problems of signal distortion and compatibility can be avoided.

Claims (4)

1 . An extra-monitor control circuit system for monitor, comprising one or more of an OSD circuit, a scaler circuit, and an A/D converting circuit, and a DC/DC converting circuit; said extra-monitor control circuit system being located at a position outside a monitor, and said DC/DC converting circuit converting power supplied from a power supply of a PC host and supplying the converted power to said monitor.

2 . The extra-monitor control circuit system for monitor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one or more of said OSD circuit, said scaler circuit, and said A/D converting circuit, and said DC/DC converting circuit are in the form of an independent unit adapted to insert into an expansion slot on said PC host.

3 . The extra-monitor control circuit system for monitor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one or more of said OSD circuit, said scaler circuit, and said A/D converting circuit, and said DC/DC converting circuit are integrated into a PC graphic card.

4 . The extra-monitor control circuit system for monitor as claimed in any one of claims 1 , 2 , and 3 , wherein said extra-monitor control circuit system is electrically connected to said monitor via one or more signal cables and connectors thereof for transmitting signals and power to said monitor from said PC host.
