Looking for a big 32" "screen" for a computer at work, it's only going to run this old, simple program, nothing fancy so could easily be a TV. and they can be cheap. Was wondering my chances of finding a TV with a VGA input.
do Older LCD TV's have VGA connections?

I remember older LCDs having a VGA input, may not have been common but some did. A quick google shows plenty available still.

I'd say most of them will have VGA.
Quite a few TVs I've bought in the past have had VGA. Infact I can't think of one I've bought that doesn't have one. Including one bought in around 2004 and a dirt cheap Argos TV around 2010.
Edit: Just had a quick look on Gumtree and the first two that had a model number had a VGA input, so I think you're good.

I actually have a 32" TV from ~11 years ago that has both VGA and DVI ports. It is of course only 1366x768, but it's still going strong in my parents' holiday flat 
Depending on the age of the computer and how fast its one program will update the screen... USB-DVI adapters exist. I don't want to say they work well, but they do exist if you get desperate.
