Proper C64 S-Video
NOTE: This article addresses the various S-Video signals available from a few different versions of the US NTSC, brown, breadbox Commodore 64. If you have a C64c, C128 or PAL versions etc., I have no idea how much the below information may be of use to you. Proceed with caution.
When my Commodore 1702 monitor recently bit the dust, I found myself struggling with a decision: Invest in another 30 year old tube-based technology or bring the output of my beloved C64 into the 21st century. I chose the latter and couldn't be happier.
