Assuming you are in Germany I would use an LCD TV with SCART I assume
devices with SCART inputs are available there. Does Aldi in Germany do
weekly offers as in the UK. I especially bought one of their TV's because it
had a wide range of inputs.

Subject: Preferred way of substituting TFT for CRT Monitor?
I have got a HP 9000/217 machine with a standard video card. This card has
a
monochrome composite output (resolution is as low as
about 512x400, but I
might replace it with a higher resolution card). A small 9" HP monitor
that I
used for testing only shows me 2 or 3 bands of the
image and cannot
capture
the signal properly.
All I have are modern TFT monitors which usually have VGA and/or DVI
inputs, no separate R-G-B or monochrome jacks.
What is the preferred way to connect "old" composite video signals to a
modern TFT monitor without losing too much sharpness? I understand that
interpolation is an unavoidable problem.
Searching the internet did not give me a clear answer. Do you have any
recommendations?
Thank you, Martin
