There will be an analog output, probably composite or oldschool RGB. Goal is to be able to connect a 1084s or other oldschool comodore monitor.

I agree regarding "more is better" but I understand that you want to use the MEGA65 in combination with your TV set. We are have not given up on native 1080p50 and it probably will work at some point. Worst case would be to equip the MEGA65 computers with a built-in downscaler and HDMI socket. All will be good

cheers,

Update: I bought one of the cheap converters mentioned in last post ( < 18 euros including shipping) and they do full HD! Good value to the money and I guess problem solved for now

Here's your solution! These converters do HD-ready output on HDMI including Audio. They have been successfully tested by us. For 16,99 including shipping they are the perfect solution for now! This does not mean we won't be looking into native 1080p50 in the future, but right now we got other priorities (again: cases, keyboards, pcbs...).
Here you go:

I agree. 16:10 is always better than 16:9 which makes us believe we should stick to what we have. However, the HDMI converter box works fine and the picture looks well. I could not spot serious distortions so this is the way to go for the moment. Next step is we will have our resellers offer that box so you are good to go. Meanwhile you can search and buy one yourself. And again, a 8 year old LG plasma TV for example will do the downscaling by itself.
I will let you know when the box is available. Thank you for your patience.

We looked into the 1080p resolution. Sadly it didn't work out very well for now. As time is very limited and there are more important tasks to complete at the moment, we strongly advise everybody who has problems displaying the 1920x1200 resolution to get a downscaler. While many TVs can downscale the image, others can not. We found and tested a <50 euros solution and it works just fine. The box converts the 1920x1200 vga analog image to 720p and outputs it (plus the sound) to HDMI. This should make anyone happy who has problems displaying the "big one" for now. We will be offering that box to be ordered from us very soon, if you are in a hurry either search on the interwebs or drop me a line...
