Re: Need a source for Composite Video Monitors

(Mike Lombardi needs composite video monitors for A][e's used for data
acquisition)

Look around a bit, but at this point, you'd probably be smart to NOT look
for "computer" monitors, since few new computers these days have composite
video outputs.

Look instead at ordinary video monitors.  If you want color, look at
television production equipment.  The Panasonic CT1383Y comes immediately
to mind, but I am not certain how 80-column text would look on it.

Green or amber may be hard to come by anymore.  But if you can live with
black-and-white, you are in luck, since security system people are still
generally in the stone age of video and using black-and-white monitors. 
Like the video production monitors named earlier (actually, I like the 9"
JVC better than the Panasonic, but I can't remember the model number...),
the security monitors are fairly high-resolution black-and-white.

Actually, green and amber composite monitors DO still exist if you really
want them; I keep seeing them in fast-food restaurants on the order
fulfillment systems.  You can tell that they are composite by the RG-59
cable connecting them to the control computer...

Good luck!
