[Coco] Coco2 composite video vs Coco3 video

[Zippster]

Are you viewing the CoCo3 composite on an LCD TV?
Does the text look kind of broken up?

It’ll look good, but seriously skewed to the left on a CRT tv,
but yes pretty bad on LCD.  (my experience anyway).
I think this is typical of the CoCo3, the two I have anyway.

The CoCo2 composite boards I’m working on (nearly ready to go)
do look pretty good on an LCD though (and great on a CRT).
