I've had great results from the Highway 100 scan converter. It's a bit
pricey, but produces a rock-solid scan-doubled image from my Amiga 2000 in
interlaced 640x480 mode. It even supports the somewhat (well, very)
oddball color output from an Apple IIgs.
I mean, from
the old 512x256 resolutions up to the 1024x768 would scale up
nicely, accepts BNC, SOG, and whatever we else use on our lovely boxes ?
Some thoughts on this. Off the top of my head, I have the following
requirments; 1280x1024, 640x480 (VGA, Amiga 3000, Atari TT030), and NTSC
(8-bit computers and various video game systems). Another thought is this. Are 1600x1200 (4:3) LCD
panels available new? All
I see now are widescreen monitors. I should have purchased a 1280x1024
panel when they were easily available, but didn't, and I would need one that
would work with both Sun and SGI.
Unfortunately, 4:3 LCD displays in sizes much above 17" are simply not
manufactured anymore. The vendors have decided that all anyone wants to
do on a computer is watch video content, I guess. Probably need to watch
eBay.
