    Dont bother with them cheap things from lik-sang as the only really good converters cost around £500 ;)

    What you could do is get a TV card and use a program called Dscaler, this is what I use. The quality isnt going to be as good as a TV but the text isnt blurry.

    EDIT: Or you could go exspensive and buy a new monitor with svideo on it, you can get CRT monitors with svideo but there rare and cost loads or you could get a LCD most desent makes have svideo inputs.
