I was using a Franklin composite monitor (used about 50$). With A500 or
an A2000 worked well on the mono-composite output. The AppleII compatible
monitor was a green screen with medium-long persistance phosphor. After
adjusting the contrast a little, had to look carefully to see it flicker
in interlace mode. Basically a decent setup for terminal replacement.
