I have a Radio Shack monochrome composite CGA monitor and a Magnavox
RGBI/composite CGA monitor that I have used as a TV monitor with my
VCR.  The monochrome worked OK.  I primarily use it as a monitor when I
record programs on my VCR.  The contrast was hard to get right.  The
Magnavox supported RGBI, composite and had a switch for TV mode.
Though I could never tell the difference when the sitch was on or off.
