Connection Help

[mrtbig]

Hello All, I just purchased an Atari 800XL and it is being shipped to me. I used to own the Atari 800 back in the 80's and thought it was probaly the best arcade game machine ever. My question is that I have a large CRT TV and also a LCD Monitor with Video inputs that I would like to connect it to. I haven't received it yet, but what is the best way?

 

I saw this on ebay, is it needed and does it really help?

I don't know if the RF connector is coming with the 800XL or not.

 

Thanks!

You'll need a Composite video monitor cable from the DIN 5 AV port on the 800xl to the TV and/or LCD TV -
