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.
