Ok, my mistake. It's been a while since I looked at the manual. Composite video makes things easier, unless you can find a professional monitor type LCD with maybe separate line/field/video inputs. It may be possible to combine the outputs and then feed a standard LCD monitor with the resultant composite signal. I'm not sure if the line and frame rates are standard. I have repaired a few 2955's in the past but most faults have been attributed to either the OM345 chips or the LOPT destroying itself. There used to be a mod kit out to repair/upgrade the CRT driver board but that's quite a few years back now.
