     Yes; it is kind of like coming out of a dank tunnel into the sunlight.

     $9.95?!  You should have bought it just to have a spare. The GS RGB monitor
is better than composite video for most displays-- a lot better.

     The composite color monitor will usually be a bit better for 'old Apple II'
graphics formats-- like hires and double-hires; but, the difference is not usually
enough to justify having two monitors connected.
