Well, it looks pretty good to me...
I followed the links to Amazon and ZipZoomFly. Amazon wants $199 for
the converter box, couldn't find it on ZZF's crappy site. Search
didn't return anything...

I've seen similar boxes for $149 and less, I have a similar box (XRGB-
II) myself. I'm not crazy about the clarity of that box, and I know
there are better ones. I'd probably want a better picture of the
monitor, especially in text mode for readability.
