PAL video has 15.625KHz line rate - most VGA monitors don't wake up until around 30KHz. You may be able to get a convertor, but don't expect it to be a) cheap or b) very good picture quality HTH Deep. Monitor is a NEC Multisync LCD2000 Will check out the details, might be better buying a cheap TV with video in ! |

Using TV out to a VDU in order to preview video really defeats the object. You can pick up a SCART-equipped TV for £40 at our local co-op. |

If you intend to check colours, never mind colour correct, you really do need to use the same monitor as the intended output. |
