Good Composite->VGA converters for classic computers (& video games...)

Since I like to have a second monitor on my desk anyway, I picked up a
cheap 15" LCD TV with VGA input - it's not the best VGA monitor but adaquate
for my secondary display, and has composite, 'S' and RF inputs which seem
work quite well with my vintage hardware. As a bonus it has a remote,
switches between inputs and does audio.

Dave
