Heh.  You do get what you pay for in this world.  The Highway unit shows
almost none of that vertical banding - at 7x the price :-).

It would seem that it should be showing more *even* banding, rather than no
banding...isn't it supposed to be alternating stripes?

Actually, my converter does show the banding. Must have remembered incorrectly :-).

They are even, though. That desktop shows no banding at all on the original IIGS RGB monitor.

Whether the banding is regular or irregular will depend entirely on the
board's resampling clock, and any dynamic adjustments its phase lock
loop attempts during a line interval.

A *very* high resampling clock (relative to 16MHz) would result in
almost no banding, but anything under 32MHz will show significant
banding.
