686.0. "NES work with a VR241?" by IW::WARING (Simplicity sells) Tue Oct 29 1991 16:49

My son's asking for a special Nintendo NES package for his birthday in a
couple of weeks time. We have a black and white tv in his bedroom (cheap!)
and a very old VR241 in the cupboard here that I can buy from Digital.

Anyone ever tried connecting a VR241 colour monitor to an NES successfully?

	VR241? is that the monitor for a vt240? At any rate I doubt it will work, All the DEC color monitors I've seen are RGB and don't accept composite video. Black and White NES is bogus..... looks like there will be a new TV in your future....

	and having bought an NES yesterday, I think that a colour tv will be needed. Thanks for the comments... - Ian W.

	There was indeed a colour monitor in our future. This birthday is costing a fortune ;-) ... and that's before he gets fed up with Super Mario Bros, Tetris and World Cup Football! - Ian W.

	fyi - the B&W monitor from a VT240 will display nintendo output just fine... we hooked up a speaker mounted in an old tissue box... but yes, color is much preferable... this was just a lab experiment in nintendo hacking... Joe
