    I assume the TVs you got are just monitors and if so they will have either or both phono or BNC connectors. You can get a lead that will connect scart to either of these connectors. Also if the TVs are monitors than they might not have speakers so you will need an external amp. Post up the make and model numbers of the TVs so someone can give more accurate advice.

    The three are Sony...

    Only ones does not have speakers which is ok cause we have a sound system in the pub so dont need them.....

    By the sounds ill have to get someone into look at them cause im not much up to date on this kinda stuff..... As long as i know they will work somehow is good enough...

    I would say that it would be no problem to get them to work. You just need the right leads.

    Being a monitor just means that they will not have a tuner in it which means that you would need something else to provide the picture(ie sky, video, DVD recorder or DTT receiver).

    As stated - you have a display, not a TV. Big difference. What you have is a commercial display rather than one intended for domestic use. However, you can get them to work in a domestic situation.

    I use a display that is not a TV. It comes with a VGA (15 pin) plug and 5 BNC connectors (RGBHV). It will only display 1280x768 without the optional video card installed. The video card offers S-Video, DVI and composite which allows me to connect it to Sky HD, DVD, etc.

    If your display does not have an HDMI input then you will most likely have HDCP issues if you connect anything via HDMI. I got around this buying an HD Fury and an HDMI to DVI adapter cable.

    Can you post pictures of the connections on your monitors?

    I've been through exactly what you're trying to do. I got my display from a pub and mine has no SCART connections and no TV tuner.
