The color on the hi-res screens looks pretty good, but the vertical lines through the

screen looks pretty good too.
Well, you're right! The text looks like crap on an analog CRT, too. I updated my blog
post with a few more pictures.
Now I'm even more curious about the reports I've heard about having trouble with
video conversion, since the first cheap converter I tried seemed to work OK with an Apple
//c. Of course, it still lacks a tuner for the TV-connected computers, but I got the
impression that the Apple II series was especially picky about its video converters. Maybe
there's a different program I should try running that does weird stuff with video
modes, like some game with particularly interesting graphics?
I'm also interested in seeing what the converter will do with composite video tapped
out from a Color Computer's innards. I seem to recall that it had some screwy video
modes that required the user to keep hitting the reset button until the colors weren't
swapped.
