Yeah, sadly, 80 columns via composite color is unreadable even on a modern TV. Maybe someone can post a photo example of the difference.

Composite to a monochrome monitor was nice, though — you could turn off the CoCo 3’s colorbust signal and make it very easy to read.

I will have to configure my Raspberry Pi’s framebuffer to 640x225 and see how it looks via composite.
