Your average CRT VGA monitor is a higher quality device than your average consumer-grade CRT, but most aren’t compatible with classic game consoles. These quality monitors can still be found for really cheap, so this video will show you how to use a few devices to allow compatibility...and make them look exactly like a high quality RGB monitor!
