Article-I.D.: utcsstat.487 Posted: Tue Jan 4 15:54:05 1983 Received: Tue Jan 4 17:29:34 1983 I am interested in buying a television and lately have seen much hype for the new component televisions. They certainly look nice but I wonder whether it is also possible to use such a television as a monitor for a home computer without suffering from all the problems that plague the Apple II when it is connected to a television. Is it possible with these new component television sets to get high quality computer monitor type resolution as well as being able to watch television. I recently saw an Atari commercial where somebody is playing Missle Command on a Sony television. I want to be able to obtain comparable or better graphics ability with the television connected to a real computer. Any experience on this? Is it wishful thinking? Is it just too expensive? Any responses will be appreciated. I will post a summary if I get enough replies. Many thanks Bruce Freeman (utcsstat!bjf)
