Well, I am by no means an expert on this.. However, this is what I've =
heard:
A good VGA -> NTSC converter is the *best* option for getting video to =
TV..=20
Something about it not over or under scanning..
With that said, I don't know what your average VGA --> NTSC converter =
will=20
do.. If you are at all into electronics, I'm sure you could find a PCB =
online on making a vga -> NTSC on the cheap..
