I saw this in the CSA2 monitor FAQ. I have no experience with the
product.

028- Is there a high-quality replacement for RGB monitors?

     Yes. It's called the "VideoTurtle." (What follows comes from a
Video
Turtle advertisement.)

     The VideoTurtle is a product that converts your RGB signal, known
as TV
RGB-15.75KHz scan rate for NTSC, into S-Video!  S-Video is an enhanced
form of
TV with better clarity and resolution than the "TV" we are all familiar
with.

     With your computer, the VideoTurtle, and an S-Video equipped TV,
you get
equal or better display quality, than your old RGB monitor. Not only
that, you
get a much bigger and eye-pleasing display, and a TV to boot!

     The VideoTurtle, from Turtle Enterprises, can be purchased for
$149.95
from one of it's authorized distributors, such as Tex Comp Ltd. To
order all
1-800-846-3474. For technical information on TV RGB systems we haven't
mentioned, or general technical help, call 1-626-967-3341. Turtle
