AFAIK, the shack hasn't sold a monitor suitable for use on a coco3 in 80 
column ever, way too fuzzy.  For a while maggy made some that were 
decent, both under their own name and under the Commodore label as the 
108x series, and their own 8CM515 and 8CM135..  And some of the NEC 
multisyncs were also usable.

But no one has made an rgb input, ntsc std scan rates monitor in at 
least a decade now, not even the $7000 a copy broadcast stuff.  About 
the best is to get a scan convertor to upconvert it to vga monitor 
compatability, there are at least 2 being made by members of this list 
and I'm personally using one Roy Justis made.
