I have used a PC monitor, but it wasn't worth the hassle.

The only video connections I have seen for the iPad and other tablets are HDMI connectors. I assume the 950 only has the standard PSR RCA video connector, so you would need to come up with an RCA to HDMI adapter, if such a thing exists, but that would be just another piece of hardware in the connection string. Kind of inconvenient, I would think.

Regards,

Ted

While most computers, tablets, all kinds of things tend to have an HDMI out... I have yet to see one with an HDMI in... Which, if your keyboard is the sending end and the pad is supposed to be the receiving end, you would need, right? LOL

For well under $100 you can get LCD TV's that will hook up to the component output on your arranger (it's an RCA, right?). Google them.

Or for about $49 you can pick up a portable DVD player that has the same input. When the LCD display died on one particular model of the PSR series, lots of guys did this and kept on working until Yamaha came up with a free fix.

heres the thing....the S-950 has a display that doesn't tilt up like Tyros.....I like to sit very low when I play which reduces the viewing angle when your singing at Mic level...sure I can use my laptop if I needed for lyrics but that means using my bigger 2 tier stand and more hookups etc ....thats fine for all my 4 hr gigs but for short 1 hr NH / cocktail hrs etc, it aint worth it, ...but I was thinking that just a tablet, ....on battery power, easy to carry hook up would be an easy alternative for 1hr jobs...
