Hey everyone,

I recently replaced my old AOC 22" LED monitor with a 40" 4k Sony, and now I don't know what to do with the old AOC.

I was thinking of using it as a second screen for my laptop, however a problem arises. I would have to get rid of my alarm clock to put a second monitor beside my laptop.

I was wondering if there was a cheap way to use the monitor as a clock. It has a DVI and a VGA connection, so I would use the DVI for my laptop, then when I want a clock, I can switch inputs.

I am wondering if a small device exists that simply outputs a clock feed to VGA. Let me know of any solutions you can think of. Thanks in advance.
