[Coco] What are the monitor options for the CoCo 3

[Barry Nelson]

You could use something like this for $5.33 with free shipping to convert HDMI to VGA:

There are others. I don’t know this seller, this is only an example. Best Buy also has some. I share a monitor/TV and switch between video inputs to use my CoCo.

> I just though I’d give you an update on my monitor situation.  I got the parts for the project you linked below and completed it today.  The display looks great so far.  I’ll have to do more testing with it soon, problem is the only spare monitors I have don’t have HDMI input so I had to borrow my sons, temporarily.  I’m very happy to see a real CoCo 3 in colour again!
