 Maybe this will help?

Also, you'll need the cable. I think several people offer this. This list is definitely the place to ask :-)

This is the CM-8 user's manual. I am sure that this document is somewhere online (maybe the color computer archives?) You can peruse it. This is *the* monitor for the Color Computer 3's RGB port. Ha! Some light research revealed the link to the PDF of the user's manual for the CM 8:

 I give up on a new type monitor because I thought it would be easier then the old monitor. I will look for a CM-8 or a Commodore monitor if I knew which model will work

  Ok. Good luck in locating a modern monitor that supports ARGB. In any case, I'll keep my eyes open and if a see a likely candidate I will post here for further scrutiny. Regards, Salvador

 For now I will use the RF or the RCA plug on the back of the Coco3. When I find a Monitor or LCD with RGB connector on it then I will use the plug on the bottom of the Coco3.

 Yeah sorry, I meant to type RGB-to-SCART.  Thanks for correcting that.
