I am using a SamSung SyncMaster 940MW that I picked up a year and a
half ago.  I don't know if they're still for sale, but the reason I
bought it was because it has every connector known to man+dog on it.
SCART, composite, SVideo, component, and VGA.  It's widescreen, and so
does the PC at 1440x900 or so.  It might be just 20" diagonally.  My 8-
bits (and the Mac IIci) put out a less wide picture, so that's
centered.  I am typing from my PC now with the IIgs running in the PIP
window.

It looks great in all modes.  Except maybe when hooked to older II+
computers that took such liberties with the NTSC signal... they look
pretty crufty.

Has anyone tried using this to connect the GS to a VGA Monitor.

It seems to be like the XRGB, just a hell of a lot cheaper.  I'm
thinking about getting it and trying it out, but I dunno if it's
compatible. Any thoughts?

Look for thread "Video Converters" There is one I had asked about that is 'way' cheaper yet. Oh, heck, I'll just repost the link. This one is actually mentioned in the FAQs. http://baysoftgames.stores.yahoo.net/vgabox1.html I'm going to try this one, if money warrants it.
