That's a good question.  From the pictures I've seen around of the //c LCD
display, it basically sucked and was only monochrome, and the actual
output on the screen was vertically squashed.  I doubt I'd ever want one
unless I got one in mint condition and given to me for free.  Shrug, to
each his own I guess. One person's junk is another person's gold.  :)

Has anyone here with any model of Apple II, tried to hook up a modern day
color LCD/Plasma TV/Monitor via the composite video output on the back of
your (any model) Apple II ???  If so, could you provide some feedback of
how it looks, both in 40 columns, 80 columns (if your Apple II has an 80
column card), as well as color graphics?

I'm sure at least a few models of the modern day Plasma/LCD TV's have
composite video input(s), or failing that, one could hook up a composite
to S-Video adapter, as I'm sure most of these Plasma/LCD displays have at
least S-Video as a lowest common denominator input.
