[Coco] What are you using for your CoCo 1/2 display

[Salvador Garcia]

Hi all,

I hope to get CoCoing again in a couple weeks when I travel to where my 64K CoCo I is located. 

This thread interests me because it has made me aware that I have no display device at all. We are thinking of buyng a small (22-27") TV, so I would use this as a display device. It has been so long since I last saw my CoCo I that I don't remember what video output it has to the TV, although TVs in the 80s were different than those available today.

Can someone please orient me in the better way to connect this off-the-shelf CoCo to whatever TV we purchase? If I need any accessories I'd rather purchase them before the trip. Thanks much, I appreciate any help. Salvador

My main CoCo 1 has a composite color monitor driver and the main CoCo 2 has 
a monochrome composite monitor driver.  It has been a few years since they 
have been set up though and I have to wonder how many of my monitors are 
still working.
