Hmm, no.  I jsut used a Y-connector to connect video to both chroma and 
luma on back.

It is not, but the 1701/1702 was one of the sharpest monitors of the 
time period (one wonders how that happened, since Commodore was not know 
for quality.  In this case, CBM did not make monitors and perhaps they 
could not dictate Thompson or whoever built the monitor's design)

I know it is heresy to have a CBM monitor alongside a TANDY or other 
system, but they really are awesome monitors.  The boxy shape allows on 
to stack them easily and put stuff on top (temporarily, of course).  The 
built-in 2 way video switch is a nice touch as well.
