One of the nice things about the IIgs is that it has both a composite
video output and the rgb... although I find the rgb monitor to be
preferable most of the time, I still keep a composite monitor connected
for when it's preferable. The composite monitor that matches the IIgs is
(I believe) internally identical to the platinum IIe colour monitor.
