I use a TV tuner/video capture card (Hauppauge WinTV-D) and DScaler to
display output from my PAL Commodore 128D either composite or Y/C. It works
quite well actually. I did try a cheapy PAL/NTSC converter from eBay but
any horizontal movement is terrible since it doesn't do any
framebuffering/pulldown necessary to handle the difference in refresh
rates. Dscaler displays just about perfect (although the Hauppauge card
introduces a bit of noise in the video).

I bought one of those recently ostensibly as a
monitor for my Apple ][s
but
like you say it's capable of pretty much
anything you can throw at it.
ukp25 too, bargain.
You can get the service manual from elektrotanya, and believe me you
need it!
I didn't think of putting my Einstein through my big TV, instead I spent
quite a bit on the official Tatung monitor for an exhibition I was doing.
The Einstein can output either RGB (analogue) + sync or 'Component
video' (luminance and 2 colour difference signals). There are links on the
PCB to select which.
I've never seen the official Tatung monitor for it. I assume it's based on
a common TV chassis design. (The Einstein PSU is very similar to some
1980s Decca/Tatung TV power supply circuits).
