The idea of replacing my big HP hdmi and vga with a new monitor with pip
was probably crazy. The very nice new Samsung UHD monitor has two HDMI
ports and a Display port which works well with the Nvidia 1070X on the PC.

I had thought that installing a VGA to HDMI converter between the cable
which with the correct dip switch settings worked just fine in exporting
1152x900 at 76Hz to the HP referred to above would work on the new monitor.

But no-joy.

It looks like the VGA to HDMI converter must synch at 60 Hz.B  I looked
through the offerings on the net and couldn't find any that if they
specified input requirements listed 76 or 66 Hz which is what I believe
the SPARCstation10's output is limited to.

Has anyone done this successfully and if so, how did you do it?
