This was part of the reason for the original posting. I have an existing
design, using LCD screen. It would be nice to give the user the option to
connect a video monitor for

i) display of more information (the more the merrier, within reason)
ii) remote display/multiple outputs.
iii) better readability.
iv) time lapse video for data-logging

I don't want to go to great lengths (more than say one IC + SRAM) or use a
lot of space, but if all it needs is a $10 chip and an external BNC
connector, it has to be worth doing. Just imagine how many designs you
already have that might benefit from an (optional) larger display.

I shall follow up all the leads here, and report back...
