It's time to replace the LCD that came with the Amstrad PPC512 with something you can actually see! Instead of just presenting the final solution, I try a few different approaches and I'll pick out the one that works best and is the least expensive at the end. For now we look at the MCE2VGA and the GBS 8200 converters.
