If only that was a US version. I’ve never seen that kind of antenna connector before. I’d really like to find something that works. Very tempted to take some of my computers into a brick & mortar store and try out some TVs in-store to see if anything works, but I’d definitely rather have something to convert to VGA so I’m not stuck with a particular monitor.

I tried a “Sabrent” branded TV to VGA converter I got from Amazon and the tuner on it wouldn’t even lock on to anything I tried. The composite input also couldn’t deal with the Apple II color so all I got was a monochrome picture. I left a review of it with pictures, complete junk.
