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!
Just looked at the pics of someone servicing one, I'll go looking for the
manual :)
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.
When it was released it was 'unique' for a home computer in that its video
output was YUV, I remember that being mentioned specifically.
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).
The monitor is a Hitachi chassis I think, dark-ish picture of my machine is

And why oh why did I look on ebay for Einstein stuff....grr.... :)
