I know this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there were
any new RGB to VGA upscaling converters out that were particularly
good for this task. The XRGB-2 is no longer available (and was
pricey).

I would like to do RGB rather than composite to VGA with a GS and a
viewsonic LCD.

Right--if you start with composite, then the result can never be
any better than that, no matter what format you convert to.

The 'simple' solution is to use an LCD TV with a SCART input on it,
and use Roger's IIgs->RGB cable. The results will depend on the
quality of the TV.

I tried this a while back with my TV (A 32" model, a bit inconvenient
placing atop an Apple II) and the results were quite acceptable. On my
Apple II though, I've now decided to regress to a green phosphor
monochrome display. For a non-gamer, this gives the best possible
results, but I would certainly like to find a small LCD TV that worked
well.

I would be surprised to see Video (NTSC) to VGA Converter at
http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/video-vga-gvm-2000.html. I am sure 80
column is unreadable on VGA screen unless digital filter is used isntead of
analog. Do you agree?
