In my opinion, the AppleColor Composite Monitor is the best
composite color monitor available.  It has special video circuitry
that switches to high-bandwidth monochrome mode when there
is no color burst (text mode) that permits sharp 80-column
displays as well as good composite color on graphics screens.

Some people prefer RGB displays, but I find that most games
were written with composite color in mind, and think they look
better.  (And, of course, RGB monitors don't use RCA inputs.  ;-)

The AppleColor Composite is regularly available on eBay, though,
as always, a local source for monitors is to be preferred.
