- VGA scans at about 31.5kHz; NTSC has a horizontal rate of about
- 15.75kHz. If you don't do something to correct the difference,
- you will get the right and left halves of the picture overlaid
- on the monitor. Correcting the difference involves buffering
- up quite a bit of data at the NTSC rate so it can be hosed to
- the monitor at the faster rate. Good luck doing it in one or
- two ICs with current state of the art.
