use FPGA (Score 1)

I am doing something like this for industrial use. A computer controlled weighing machine from the early eighties uses a plasma 640x400 display panel. As time went on the price of these panels rose from £400 to £3000 then went obsolete. So I made a framebuffer to to convert the plasma display timings into the timings and drive that I could use with a 800x600 LVDS LCD panel with a Spatan 6 board (mojo). May be you could do similar.
