Joey Kay Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hey hey! I'm looking for a computer monitor with RCA "in" jacks to use my 130XE and Jag with. The Tandy CM-11 RGB monitor had RCA video in jacks, but unfortunately, I sold that along with my Tandy 1000 about 12 years ago when I got a 1000TL/2 with a VGA card... Anyhow, any other monitors you folks know of with RCA in jacks? Cheers! Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Look for an old Commodore monitor. The 1702 is a good one, but there are many other models as well. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I'm using an old Apple IIe/c color composite monitor with my XE right now, it's good. I picked it up off E-bay for $25. due a search on E-bay under "vintage computers" instead of the regular "Atari" or "commodore" searches, that's how I came across mine...

I heard these moniters can be used as RGB moniters so I hooked up my Jamma Harness to the Original Commadore Moniter Cable and ....tada! The picture looks much better than my 25" RGB Moniter in my Neo Geo believe it or not, probably because of its smaller screen size I want to make a Caberet cabinet and use this Moniter for the Cabinet... And yes it does have RCA Jacks for both Video and Stereo. Take a look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Protocol Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I'm also using a Commodore 1702, excellent monitor plus RCA jacks that work for atari are on the front, means I could hook a Commie to the back and use both without swapping cables, only drawback is small speaker is on top, where my disk boxes go.

t.skid Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I also use Commodore monitors.... I have 1084s and 1084s2; connected with 130XE and Jaguar looks very good (even if, with Jaguar, I prefer to use Sony TV 34" ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The only color monitors I've ever used with 8-bits are the Commodore 1702s. I used to use them with a cable that split the chroma and luminance, giving you in effect an s-video cable. You then get spectacular output! They also have normal composite inputs (video, audio) on the front. We had eight of these puppies setup at last year's CGE: AtariAge Booth at CGE2K2 ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidPenguin Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Sears used to have color monitors with RCA inputs as well. I still have the one I purchased when I purchased my Atari XEGS. I left it at my parents house unfortunately since I moved so I can't look at the model number really. It doesn't matter now, it seems that the tube is leaking or the gun is weakening or some such since the image will sometimes expand then contract suddenly once in a great while. I know that there's a box floating about somewhere that will allow you to convert the feed from RCA to the VGA(?) inputs on most modern monitors. They seem to be more-or-less popular with the newer consoles like Dreamcast, XBox, and what not. I looked at it a few times (I'll try to find a link, I think spotted one at Amazon) but the cost of it and considering I already have multiple monitors and T.V.s that I'm quite happy with, I couldn't justify buying it myself.
