Marty probably made that kind of statement because the Sony had better resolution than the Tandy Coco monitor and most other typical TVs used during the Coco heyday. Also, during the Coco heyday, most graphic programs were written assuming the presence of a composite monitor that could display artifact colors. The Coco3 would have started a major shift to RGB monitors if there had been enough models available to choose from. However, the industry was rapidly leaving all Coco use in the dust and not looking backwards.
