No real experience, but Maplin have a "VGA 2 PAL Gamer" board on
offer
at29.99ukp that does 600x600 (PQ99H). It's cheap, and I'm going to
risk poor quality output as soon as they get then back in stock.

The picture has a URL on the PCB that is very hard to read:
sales@xxxxxxx ???

Sadly this does not seem to correspond to a WWW site.

Hmm, you see baluns to convert video to cat 5 UTP, but my guess is the
quality would be terrible. Perhaps straight UHF would be a cheap
method. For my own setup, I was looking at getting a cheap recycled PC
and putting it next to the TV.  That way the long distance can be done
via Ethernet- it depends on what you want to display.
