Adding a vga output to a NXT

Came across this project which adds a video outlet to a NXT. Has anyone tried this or heard of similar projects?

Does it have any practical applications? I could use a small back-lit lcd screen to display messages because the NXT screen can be hard to read. I have seen interfaces for micro (pic, etc) projects - anyone seen these used with a brick?

My apologies - thought I had included it. True what they say about brain fade and old age ....

That's funny. Before you posted the link to the actual project I thought "A Parallax Propeller should be able to do this." I used to work with those a LOT before I started with the NXT. I still have a whole bunch of unused Proto Boards ( http://goo.gl/N1gg8 ) and VGA kits ( http://goo.gl/83PKL ) for them. I also have still have one of these, as well: http://goo.gl/jszVN

Great chip, very powerful and easy to use.
