 Their great monitors ! I have both a 1702 and an 1802. I prefer the
1802 but they're very similiar. Mine sits on my desk on top of a C64
1541 and an Atari 1050 which sit on top of an old VCR. An Atari 130XE
and a C64 are cabled nearby. It has all the usual TV controls
including vol. ,tint,color, contr.,brt.,v-hold, h-posi,and v-hgt. as
well as a compos-sep-mono switch in a front inset panel. Never tried
my Coco 1, Vic-20, or Nintendo with it but I imagine it's possible.
 POW, Take THAT Bill Gates !!!
