Yes.  A company called Jovian Logic makes such a beast.  Try Surplus
Technology in San Jose; they carry it and gave good service.  If you
get a TV with Super VHS input you supposedly can get very good resolution;
less good with regular composite input, as you suggested.

I know about this because I bought one.  I sent it back because this
particular product is a hardware/software combo that runs only with DOS,
and I'm running Unix.

There are other such products around.  US Video makes a VGA board with
NTSC output, but it costs over $700.

Good luck.  I'm back with a 14" monitor myself.
