A super-cheap GF2MX with Tv-Out might be a better choice, if you get a 
model with a "fully-programmable" tv output chip (the other(s?) have 
only a few modes/sizes), you'll be able to really control the tv-out. 
Now, I don't know how flexible the g400 tv-out is, but I know the GF2MX 
is alright if properly configured. Might be cheaper, too, depends on 
where you live.
