I have one but I have never tried it out. What did you want to know?

What inputs does it have on the back? The TI99 uses a normal RF adaptor... so I was wondering what exactly is up with their monitor.
The TI99 uses a normal RF adaptor...
Actually the TI99 has a unique RF modulator.

Well, the cabling is unique, but the concept that it's just putting out ntsc video is the same... which would mean that the ti99 monitor likely takes in ntsc video as well...

The TI99 also puts out direct composite video at the Din connector in the
back. I'm not sure, but I'd guess the monitor uses composite because it's
better quality than RF

So perhaps that could mean that a TI monitor is the same type of gaming goodness as a commodore monitor?

the one I have has A/V inputs on the back and it has a cable with a 5-pin (DIN I think?) connector on it. Might be the same cable as C64.

Try the a/v inputs with something like a Dreamcast or genesis. See how good a pic it gives...
