A Japanese company ( NEC? ) has produced a 263 by 963 memory chip
specifically for deinterlacing. They plan to put it in some of their
high-end consumer televisions, which will take NTSC-format input and
display it as 525-line frames displayed 60 times a second. This
is from a recent Electronics magazie report. So there's the answer :
get this circuit and put it in RGB monitors. Wahla. No flicker when
in interlaced high-res mode.
Sorry, I don't remember any more. But keep an eye out for these.
If you want more info, find some recent Electronics to scan.

Took me a while to figure this out. This belongs is rec.humor.funny.
I think he means `voila'. Or has Fred Flinstone got net access?

This This has already been done. I recall almost a year ago seeing ads from Toshiba (of Soviet subs fame) talking about the first REAL use of digital circuitry in TVs, to do something other than put another picture in the corner or posterize your picture. It was only available in a 26 inch model, as I recall. If Toshiba can do it, I would expect to see a lot of other manufacturers incorporating such a beast in the next year or so.... > -- > Dennis O'Connor oconnor@sungoddess.steinmetz.UUCP ?? > ARPA: OCONNORDM@ge-crd.arpa > "If I have an "s" in my name, am I a PHIL-OSS-IF-FER?" ==== | Disclaimer: Just `cuz I work on the Death Star, ==OOO===== | that doesn't mean I speak for Darth Vader... =OOOOOOO==== | Ralph Brandi, {ihnp4,mhuxt}!homxb!mtuxo!lzfme!ralph =OOOOOOO==== | Kopykat (k) 1987, R.A.Brandi ==OOO===== | All Rights Reserved, All Jams Preserved, ==== | All Nasty Comments Soundly Deserved...

Don't hold your breath. When I saw the ad for the Toshiba (about 2 years ago) I called Toshiba. What I wanted to ask was basically will this thing act like an RGB monitor, and de-interlace in the monitor. It took me almost a week, and I must have taslked to every Toshiba employee in the U.S. The conclusions: No, sir, it takes digital not analog RGB (ARRRRRG !! so close, but yet so far) and it deinterlaces by interpolating lines. Oh well. I'd like to see a Sony KV1311 equiv. that deinterlaces in the monitor. -- Richard J.

Rumor has it that they aren't being made anymore. They're making way for the "new" line. Why discontinue a product before the replacement is even ready yet? I figured I could splurge and take the money I was going to spend on a 1080 and put it towards a good monitor, rather than just waiting to upgrade later (and thus wasting about $300). But when the 2000 became available, I couldn't find ANY analog RGB monitors (except Magnavox, and I understand that they aren't much better than the 1080). Grrrrrrr.......

Yes, apparantly KV1311's have been discontinued. The replacement is the same, but doesnt have the composite video in and NTSC in - although *again - a rumor* has it that the circuitry is there, just the connectors arn't. I still see ads for them from time to time in the L.A. papers. A call to Sony may provide soime leads... > > William LeFebvre -- Richard J.
