RGB is king... composite no more !

I just spent the last couple hours modding my commodore 1902a monitor to accept analog RGB (before it only accepted digital RGBI and composite), and adding a RGB out to my supergun. I forgot how much better RGB really looked. I know most everyone here already knows it, but I just had to comment on how good it looks and I doubt I will ever be able to go back to playing my mvs with composite again.

Hell yeah, It makes a world of difference.

Yeah, RGB is awesome!

While RGB > All, There are some biases here.

Your COmodore Monitor is very likely to be smaller than your TV. IF you have a small enought TV. It will look very good also.

Not necessarily true... I often use my neo (via supergun) on a commodore monitor in my room which is maybe 13" and only accepts composite video (digression: it accepts Y/C also but on separate mono rca cables commodore style and I havn't made an s-video to separate Y/C 2 rca adapter yet).

Back on topic: The composite video on the 13" still looks like runny shite on a 120' steel floor in direct sunlight (well maybe not that bad )

cheers.

I know the screen is smaller, but even before the switch to RGB I was using the same monitor with composite and I had all kinds of problems with dot crawl and other artifacts. So the main point is, I very much see a difference between composite and RGB even on the same monitor.
