Cool!
Has anyone
created anything to allow us to plug things like a
Commodore 64 or Apple ][e into a modern LCD monitor?
You mean like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-video-Audio-HDMI-Converter/dp/B003NS0UUQ I can't speak to how well it works; I know that
various LCD TVs I've
used really don't like the composite signal coming from the Apple ][
or the NES; it's probably slightly off spec, and the sloppy, cheap
analog control loops in old tube TVs handled it fine, but the digital
sync detector barfs on it. That's my working theory, anyway.
Try running the signal through an old VCR, then to the converter, and
see what happens. That's what we have to do to get a Sega Genesis
working on our old Mitsubishi HDTV-ready TV (which really isn't
ready, the PS3 freaks it out).
