Tiny VGA CRT?
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2013 7:44 pm
Anyone know of/have a tiny CRT that accepts VGA signals (or can be easily adapted to do so?) Like REALLY small, 9" or less would be cool. I have a 5.5" composite video monitor but it only handles PAL/NTSC signals, would love something similar that can do VGA (i.e. 31.5 kHz horizontal.)
I had one of the cheap VGA-PAL converters that are all over Trademe, but I had to return it as it was faulty... Not really convinced those could handle every VGA signal like mode-x or tweakmodes anyway.
(I have my DOS comp set up on an LCD monitor at the moment but I've found occasional video modes it can't handle - not for any technical reason but because Compaq were too lazy to write the firmware properly - so I'm looking for a little CRT to use as a backup that I could switch to when it goes 'out of range'.)
