Roger,

 Does the manual that came with the TV tell you how many pixels the LCD has?
 I'm wondering if it's even worth the effort, as TELEVISION LCDs usually 
won't have a high enough resolution(pixels) to work with a computer. Not 
enough pixels.
 Of course, I'll betcha it works okay at 32 col.

  I've had good success in the past with B&W CRT televisions after removing 
the low-pass filter in the video ckt and going straight into that section 
with the video.(coco2).
  I could see clearly each pixel from the coco.
