Re: Display for Apple IIGS

Yes I read the one you mentioned, looking for simpler solution if
possible if I wish my kids can still use the system when they grow
up... :) Something like RGB to VGA or Component will be ideal...

Basically my own solution now should be this (of course I am not using
a VCR...)

018- What is the usual way to connect an Apple II to a display?

     For a IIgs, you connect to the IIgs RGB monitor. For other Apple
II's, you
use a video quality 'RCA cable' to connect to a composite color
monitor, such as
one of the Apple II monitors or a third party monitor like the Amdek
Color-1.
(The IIgs has a composite color output which can go to a composite
monitor;
but, for IIgs super-res, the results are unsatisfactory.)

     An alternative to a composite monitor is to connect to a color TV
directly or
through a VCR. Most VCRs and many modern televisions have a composite
video input port. Rather than buying a new monitor, a person can
usually use an
RCA cable to connect the Apple to a spare VCR or television.  The
stabilization
logic built into even a cheap VCR can go a long way toward cleaning up
an ugly
picture.
