[Coco] recomended lcd monitor.

[Salvador Garcia]

 Although not a recommendation, something like this could work:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-19-Class-HD-720P-LED-TV-E195BV-SR/55042148


This is a 19" TV. It has RF, composite, VGA and (one) HDMI port. It can easily be used with CoCos having an RF out, although you might need an adapter because the computes uses a 75 Ohm cable with an RCA connector and the TV uses an RF connector. I connected my CoCo 1 using such an adapter, but quality will vary. There are solutions available to connect a CoCo to a composite, HDMI and VGA monitor.


This particular model has some pitfalls, these being that it is 19" (you could find a slightly bigger one if desired), 60Hz refresh rate, it is 720, not full HD and it only has one HDMI port.. These may or may not be a deal breaker, but if so, there are lots of other TVs out there with varying characteristics at a reasonable price.

Not many modern LCD monitors have composite, so shopping for a TV, even if you don;t plan on using as such, may be a good option.

Regards, Salvador

You can pick up a cheap flatscreen that has both composite and VGA as well
as HDMI.  Low power consumption and small footprint (won't take up much
space).  I use a a 20 inch with my coco1 and it looks good.

 hi folks,
I received today my color computer one that was gifted to me by Henry thank
you so much for that by the way. Now it's time to think seriously about
what monitor I should get my hands on to work not only with this Coco 1 but
with eventually a Coco 3. I know it is working on some VGA expansion
options for both the Coco 1 2 and 3 but they aren't available to buy yet
should I just stick to a VGA Monitor and just wait till the expansions come
that might make the most sense as I have no room for several monitors I
only think I have room for one monitor.have  any of you guys seen a monitor
that has composit and VGA ?
As usual all input is appreciated thanks fellas.
