I use a Chinese converter and an old VGA monitor 15 "LCD (TFT).
The converter is packaged in a housing together with TV tuner (for computers with the RF output).
EP is connected via the homemade SCART cable

I have not the foggiest idea
It works well, so I don't go into details.

DB9 sockets tend to be tight when new. With the use they plug softer. I like very much your test....

On the other side with Entermice a user no more will need to disconect the plugs, as every possible controller has its own connector.

About a monitor I think the best is a "little" 19 inches Lcd 4/3  tv with Scart(RGB) input. They are widely available second-hand. But now almost all new Tvs have 16\9 proportions.

I'm not talking about that, nor a Pal image can be compared to a Vga one. It isn't a real race.  I already know that a Pc graphics card can show a perfect Pal image, just like the Enterprise does.....

Looking to a Pal video on a Vga monitor gives a false sensation of improvement, pixel accurate but you'll have artifacts on interlaced movement and will lose the dithering that gives more apparent colours.

I was talking about a "kitchen" Lcd Tv. It works in analogic video internally and converts to digital video for output. They usually have a Scart input and the correct 4/3 EP proportion.
