Slightly OT: Old CRT displays vs. new LCD

Is it? The C64 I have here (and indeed the P500 which has similar video circuitry) has an 8 pin DIN socket, carruying composite colour video and separate Y and C signals (similar to S-video). The C128 has that connector fo the 40 column output and a DE9 connecotr (CGA signals and pinout) for the 80 column chip (presumably that's why the Commodore monitor had both types of input). Many LCD TVs and video projectors will at least accept the composite input. A year or so back i gave a talk to HPCC on the 7245 printer/plotter (now that _is_ on-topic), and demonstrated it using an HP71 as the controller. For a laugh I suck my 80 column HPIL video interface on the HPIL loop, fed it into the composite input on the video projector that others were using with PC laptops and got a pefectly useable display. -tony
