The Apple II+ uses a lower resolution video output than either
the IIe or the IIGS.  Consequently, you can use your TV as a
monitor.

The video does not come from a card.  It comes from the RCA
socket at the back of the II+.  This looks exactly like the ones
on VCRs and TVs and they should.  Just connect an RCA
video cable from the II+ to your VCR or TV and you've got a
color picture!

The II+ outputs the same NTSC video that your VCR outputs.
