No, your monitor only has the digital RGB (TTL) input. It is basically
the same monitor case as the 8CM515 (which I am using right now) but
yours lacks the lin. RGB input. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly
you may even see a circular indentation on the CM8762 where the lin. RGB
input would be located (next to the TTL RGB). I suppose the CM8762 would
be a good monitor for a IIe with a digital RGB board.

Basically, the TTL RGB on these monitors was designed with CGA graphics
adapters (from the PC world) in mind.
