The 128EX/2's Video Display Generator chip also provided both analog RGB 
video (for connecting an Apple IIGS, Amiga, or Atari ST monitor) and digital 
RGB video (for connecting a CGA monitor). In RGB mode, the Video Display 
Generator (VDG) chip generates a text character set identical to an IBM PC 
(with the addition of the Open and Closed Triangle characters)

In addition to this, I'm pretty sure they have a composite video connector 
for direct to TV composite-in connections.

Best of luck with your new Laser.
