Cheap and working conversion from s-video -> digital monitor (lemmy.sdf.org)

Anyone has any recommendations about what to get ? I do have an old TV which I'm connecting to my atari800xl however it looks ridiculous, consumes tons of energy, produces s***tload of heat and I don't think it's going to last for too long :-). Yeah, buying another one ? See my 1st point ... The ultimate goal is to have my atari next to me with small display and enjoy the look of it/occasionally running it. I'm pretty sure that such a convertor exists, it's just me not being able to find it.

thank you for all your suggestions.

I do have one but picture is not even close to something you'd call "clear" ... I guess in digital world this is almost mission impossible. Getting a "bridge" between 2 different technologies can not be cheap.

oh yeah. “pixel perfect” scaling is the holy grail but it seems industry just doesn’t generally care about this. i remember looking around and finding some such converters but they were not cheap.
