Sorry, but you are wrong on this one.  The IIc will support a PC-style 
digital RGB monitor, with the appropriate adapter.  There used to be one 
made by Video-7.  There were also RGB options for the IIe.  And, of 
course, the IIgs uses an analog RGB monitor.  The video expansion port on 
the IIc was made for the purpose of allowing video expansion (hence the 
name) beyond just NTSC.
