Display for Apple IIGS

[limtc <thyechean@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I know some of the discussions have been in various threads in the
past, hidden in various topics. I thought maybe we can all put what we
know together in a thread with the appropriate title as this might
help others with the same need.

Right now for me I have 2 Apple IIGS - without the GS monitor. So I
have been using composite video cable (yellow) to connect my 2
machines to 2 LCD monitors. The result have been beyond my expectation
especially for 320 mode, but in 640 mode it is quite hard to use.

I have taken many screenshots here:

As I hope to have a proper display for my Apple IIGS so that my son
can program on one of them, my question is what is the proper way to
do this? What compatible monitors are there? Any conversion video
cable (RGB to VGA? RGB to Component?) that can do the job well? etc.

I also started to write a blog on Apple IIGS about my experience of
letting my kids learned about such wonderful computer, and in the
process, gain some "new" Apple IIGS friends.

I hope to put some of comments here in the blog to spread the word of
Apple IIGS, from programming to integrating Apple IIGS into a modern
family.
