Nick, What you evidently don't realize is that your 130XE actually has three video outputs, a composite (what most people use with low resolution color monitors) and separate chrominance and luminance outputs. If you have a monochrome monitor (amber or green screen) you use the luma output. If you have a monitor that has separate chroma and luma inputs then you use the chroma and luma outputs from the ATARI. Two color monitors that I recommend for 80 column work are the Commodore 1702 or 1802, or the Teknika MJ10 (or later model). In any case, the resolution is very satisfactory for 80 columns. There is no need to try to convert the video signals to RGB unless you just happen to have an RGB monitor. David Young -------
