VBXE hands-on

$

I've got my VBXE, yeah!....and mine was installed with a vga HD15 connector.
 
I had two plans for getting this hooked to a flat panel monitor, both of which would utilize a HD15 VGA connector.
 
Try #1

Users on various forums report that the NEC Multisync can scan down to 15khz - and that it works with Amiga.
 
This was $44 shipped for me from ebay - but it doesn't matter, the NEC LCD1550M did NOT work with my VBXE.
 
Try #2
 
As a backup plan I bought one of those arcade board to LCD converters.

This did work!
 
$32.99 - looks good to.  I have a VGA cable going from my VBXE to the Arcade board, and  a VGA cable going from the arcade board to the monitor.
I tried both the NEC Multisync, and a regular vga monitor that I know could never scan down to 15khz - both worked good, no banding - the best picture I've ever seen from the Atari.
This is a quick report, I'll take some pictures later if I get a chance.
