    I finally picked up a VGA monitor to work with my TOOL, but my issue is that the monitor doesn't seem to like my PAL VGA signal. I also couldn't seem to find a circuit diagram, much less a simple converter box.

    Is it a simple thing to do? If anyone knows a good way to convert the video signal, do tell.

    Does a thing like NTSC or PAL VGA even exist?

    Officially no. 50hz wasn't part of the VGA standard. If somehow you manage to send that using a VGA cable, it's not "proper" VGA anymore. Of course some monitors may have enough sync range to accept it anyway.

    Duh. I used the wrong VGA connector. Sorry for the useless thread.
