To which Bikerbob replies...

yeah hear ya there DL, love that monitor, I do have one. But I am talking
about using an XEP80 on an 8-bit - it has composite out, so need to use a
TV/monitor with composite in (AV in) or convert that output to something
else. 8-bit 40col looks brutal on a wide screen - I only use TV/Monitors
for my 8-bit computers (As I need S-video input anyway)
