Anyone out there use a composite->VGA upscaler for
their classic
computing and/or gaming needs?
I've been looking to shave a bit of space off my workbench and just use
a single SVGA monitor instead of that and an old composite monitor. I
picked up one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XXZQWQ and
while it works great for certain systems (the C64 and NES, for example)
it gets really confused by the composite signal coming from other
systems (like the Apple II and Sega Genesis) and is unusable with them.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Since I like to have a second monitor on my desk anyway, I picked up a
cheap 15" LCD TV with VGA input - it's not the best VGA monitor but adaquate
for my secondary display, and has composite, 'S' and RF inputs which seem
work quite well with my vintage hardware. As a bonus it has a remote,
switches between inputs and does audio.
Regards,
Dave
