Most flat screen displays use analog SVGA signals. They're trying to
elminiate SVGA, and have pure digital signals, which is how it should
be for a TFT screen. When this happens, you'll have a harder time
using it with old machines. Eventually, CRTs may be relegated to
second place (kinda like dot matrix printers).
