Umm. Thanks. I think.
Although the discussions in that link pertain to converting Apple IIgs RGB
to a modern day LCD/Plasma screen using convertor boxes/electronics.


I am talking about takeing the standard BUILT IN *composite video output*
(the RCA style female connector which can be found on the back of the case
of every North American unit Apple II (except for the IIe emulation card
for Macintosh), whether it is a ][, ][ Plus, //e, //c, IIc Plus, and even
IIgs.....and then simply hooking up the standard RCA to RCA video
connector cable to the *composite video* input on a modern day LCD/Plasma
TV/Monitor.


Apple II composite video output will display correctly on most (but not
all) modern digital TVs (it's not fully NTSC-compliant), and the display
will be bigger but not much sharper than with an older analog composite
monitor.  80-column text is generally *not* readable, and color fringing
on graphic text displays is still present.

This topic has been discussed multiple times, so try searching Google
Groups and you'll get a lot of info.
