But what is the best monitor/television to use with a Timex Sinclair 2068. Also any list members live here in the NorthEast?

I'm in the Boston Metro area! Best TV, is any decent CRT TV, the 2068 has composite out, so that makes things a lot easier :)

Mark,
I've found an RGB monitor to be much superior to composite monitors and vastly improved over a TV. I use a QL RGB monitor and it is superb. An RGB connection is not difficult to make up. Instructions are readily available or I can send you a copy.

Sure Rod, send me the instructions. Thanks Mark
Ps. I think I'm going through another 8 bit addiction phase, I'm bidding on a Timex Sinclair 1500.
Pss. Anyone see the price of this?
