> What is the preferred way to connect "old" composite video signals to a mode$ Please don't use paragraph-length lines. Any monitor that takes DE-15 ("VGA") or DVI-A input is, electrically speaking, taking R-G-B signals; passive adapters exist (I've seen them from DE-15 with 13W3 and 4BNC on the other end; I'm sure plenty of others exist). (Be careful with DVI; there are at least two kinds of DVI, and it's just DVI-A, AIUI, that fits this description.) Interpolation is not unavoidable. The better flatscreens have a way to tell the monitor to letterbox rather than scale signals whose resolution is less than the monitor's. _Good_ flatscreens have an option to scale by the largest _integer_ factor possible, thus getting image size without losing sharp pixel edges or aspect ratio. (It's depressing how advances in monitor technology have improved things to the point where monitors routinely refuse to do what pretty much any CRT monitor from decades past would.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
