Wouldn't be that hard to get a 19" VGA CRT and use that. Best of both worlds.

Power/heat should be a total nonissue when you consider that you're replacing a CRT. Either type of monitor is a dramatic improvement in both.

You don't have to use that grey dongle. It's nice, as it pulls 5v from the VGA cable, but you can supply 5v for the converter from anywhere else and it will work just fine. It should also be noted that the board isn't "Rob's board". That board is available a lot of places. What Rob has done here is packed it up nicely with his method for grabbing 5v and made it available along with the mount bracket.

Ah, didn't know there was correction going on in the dongle too. Sweet. Learn something new every day!

Fifty million to one? You sure that's not dynamic?

Heh, that's actually not very good.

Worst case scenario is that you cut a piece of plywood as a frame adapter and mount the monitor to that. That is maybe 45 minutes of work.

As another option I have that board in a Berzerk running off a 5v wall wart inside the cab. Has never had a problem that way.
