I use a TV tuner/video capture card (Hauppauge WinTV-D) and DScaler to display output from my PAL Commodore 128D either composite or Y/C. It works quite well actually. I did try a cheapy PAL/NTSC converter from eBay but any horizontal movement is terrible since it doesn't do any

I have a number of systems that require PAL and I was looking on Ebay for dual NTSC / PAL monitors, and if necessary I can handle the power conversion requirements. Any recommendations for a monitor that can work with Amstrad/Sinclair, BBC's, the Archimedes, and the like. I figure more than

I used to have a little 13 in tv that could handle about anything I plugged into it, some are made to handle both pal and ntsc automatically. Ebay comes to mind, I am talking in the crt days, not sure if they still do all that for LCD tv's but why not? Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg
