hi everyone, I was looking around but was not able to find anyone that manufactures and sells crt or display controllers. like the old 6845 or 8275 or even crt9007. I know those are old and not manufactured anymore. I was looking and hoping to find some newer and more up to date chips. does anyone know of any suppliers/ manufacturers. I would like color also if possible but that is only wishful thinking at this point. thanks.

Have a look at Asiliant technologies. They took over the old Intel display controllers, and the 65545 chip, might be suitable.
Best Wishes
Yamaha make some chips that have rgb and lcd outputs, Hitach once did an evaluation board for their lcd displays that had 1 fitted.
They are not too popular these days. Maybe you should cobb something together in an FPGA.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany
its on ebay RIGHT NOW

If you are looking to output to a VGA monitor you can either use the Thumbnail ARM VGA module
These modules are not dumb or slow, neither are they expensive. The modules are priced around USD$40, cheaper in quantity. The 2106 Thumbnail is loaded with 64K RAM internal and can provide higher vertical resolution while a newer 2148 version will be released soon that although it has less memory is able to achieve up to 480x480 mixed-mode resolution.
