Re: (random) I wonder if this would look good atop a //c?

friend sent me a cheap little portable LCD TV with composite in.  I used it
a bit with the //e but it would work better with a smaller computer, I
think. xD



http://usotsuki.info/lcdiie1.jpg<-- you can see part of the //e case here.
I didn't set it up all the way as I just wanted to see how well it would
handle the signal (though it's possible the DVD recorder is timebase
correcting it?)



It's a little too blurry to tell...


Did my best but this camera is a bit junky. :(  It doesn't color-kill, and
the 80-column text is hard to read but that might be more a matter of size
than resolution.  The picture doesn't roll or jerk or anything.

Cause its interlaced =)


Not if it's faithfully reproducing an Apple II video signal,
which is non-interlaced.  How a digital TV displays a non-interlaced
(and therefore non-NTSC) picture is pretty much up for grabs.

Doubling the lines is a likely approach, though some monitors may
recognize that it is non-interlaced and display black lines alternating
with signal lines!  (Extra credit to those designers.  ;-)
