An LCD or Plasma TV with VGA or DVI input?

Seriously - I haven't come across *ANY* graphics card yet that is able to
give anything like an acceptable video output.

I'm sure I have mentioned this many times on the list so people don't waste
as much time and money as I have done trying to get this working. I did
point out a couple of URLs with information that *MAY* allow the generation
of interlaced RGB suitable for whacking up a SCART input but the whole
process of doing so is a PITA and you must also remember that whereas PC
monitors almost without exception will suffer no ill effects if fed an out
of range signal a TV - if fed an out of range signal - may well die in a
puff of acrid smoke (I have a 20" Mitsubishi in the garage which did
exactly
that).
