The Commodore 1702 is one of the best monitors around. The only negative thing about it is the CRT is not very high resolution. Let’s try to fix that by swapping in a high-res CRT from a Commodore 1084.

Why not just slip in an LCD panel at this point?

Composite artifact color doesn’t work on LCD panels unfortunately, otherwise it’d be an excellent solution.

Idk I think CRTs just have a certain charm, kinda like the sounds of a running old IDE hard drives from back in the day.
Plus, only really expensive LCDs can even come close to the refresh rate of a CRT and emulation of the “CRT effect” is only so good.
