RGB is generally the best video quality for older game consoles. But such inputs were rarely ever offered on consumer TV sets in North America, and professional monitors with RGB inputs can be expensive and hard to come by!

Want to contact Nick? Search for Nick McCracken from Canton, SD on Facebook.
