I was indeed aware of NEC's older line of LCDs, but I was under the
impression that the "MultiSync" name was just marketing, and that they
were only capable of specific scan frequencies, rather than the range
that MultiSync CRTs (and compatible) were capable of.

Do you actually have such an LCD?  If so, I'd love to be proved wrong,
as acquiring an older LCD is much cheaper than a VGA scan converter.

Thanks!
