As far as I know, the RGB to Plasma converter does not resample the image
so
there shouldnt be any delays or artefacts. As I understand it, the
RGBtoPlasma
only converts the incoming composite sync (which from most consumer gear is
actually composite video) into true clean TTL level H & V syncs for the
Plasma
to obtain a solid sync. Somewhere on the JS Technology site it does say
that
the monitor has to be capable of accepting a 15kHz input.
