     Another possibility is to look in the Sears catalog.  They carry a com-
     bination TV/monitor/RGB system for a little over $300.  The resolution
     is great, it can be used as a TV, as a VCR monitor, or as an RGB
     monitor.  An added feature allows a monochrome green mode for text
     editing and the like.
