Help choosing proper scaler, Please. :)

I really have to say that I know next to nothing when it comes to video scalers. I might be heading in the completely wrong direction, but.....

I have an old Unix based PC that I am trying to hook a 19" LCD to. The problem lies in the low sync frequency of the video output of the Unix box. The 19" Samsung LCD that I am using for a display shows the image just fine, but there is a serious amount of overscan. As you all are probably aware of, LCD's do not have Horizontal/Vertical Size adjustments.

The incoming signal is displayed as 33.3kHz Horizontal, 66Hz Vertical on the monitors OSD info menu.

What I am looking for is a scaler that can accept this incoming signal and convert it to a more traditional 1280x1024@60hz, eliminating the overscan.

Price is really of no relevance.

Thanks!

wrong spot, irrelevant to "scalers". Try the HTPC forum.

As much as I hate to disagree with a moderator. I think your off base. There appears to be a lot of questions concerning "Scalers" in this forum. I might be using it differently than most, but I am still using it to rescale video.

I spoke with an engineer at DVIGear and this is what I purchased as my first guinee pig. If if doesn't work then I will return it. I'll find out next week. Looks as though it will do exactly what I want it to.

Any input is appreciated.
