Monitor and Display Options
Your Commodore can connect to televisions or dedicated monitors. For the best picture quality, we recommend a Commodore monitor.
Connection Types (Best to Worst Quality)
| Connection | Quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RGBI (C128 only) | Excellent - 80 column crisp text | Requires 1902 monitor |
| Composite Video | Very Good | 1701/1702 monitor, sharp colors |
| S-Video (C64C/128) | Very Good | Separate chroma/luma signals |
| RF/Television | Acceptable | Channel 3 or 4, some fuzziness |
Recommended Monitors
- Commodore 1702: The gold standard. Composite and S-Video inputs. Beautiful picture.
- Commodore 1902: For C128 users. Supports 80-column RGBI mode.
- Commodore 1084: Versatile with multiple input types. Works with Amiga too!
Using a Television
If using a TV, connect the RF modulator to your antenna input and tune to Channel 3 (or Channel 4 if there is interference). Use the fine tuning dial for best picture.
