SubjectRe: Card for displaying monitor screen (use a VGA)

just use any old vga, with a bit of level-shifting circuitry...

see http://www.ssc.com/lg/issue27/lg_tips27.html#roland

there are always a few overpriced cards around that do it:
based on market research that asks
do people really want vga output on tv?
instead of
do people really want vga output on tv, even if it looks so rough?

the limitation is the monitor quality, not the card,
so the market is always disappointed.
hence you often see them cheap, between droughts.

if you can't find a vga-->tv card cheap ($10), configure a normal vga
as per the modeline quoted in lg tip above, and wire up a little
sync-juggler, feeding into a monitor-with-separate-sync, or a $5
video modulator (little box you'll find in every video game, amiga, vcr, etc)
