   I don´t know how it is in the States, but I cannot remember a TV-Set   
   (Also LCD and consorts) not having an Antenna Input. But I heard in   
   comp.sys.atari.8bit that many LCD´s, even with antenna-in, are making   
   troubles with Atari 800´s VHF (similar to yours).   
      
   Unfortunately the VCS2600 does not have a RGB-Out (We call it here   
   Scart Connector) :-( ... but it´s possible to do so, with hardware   
   tuning!   
      
   Maybe you hear around in some ATARI Shops. Possibly they can sell you a   
   tuning kit for RGB. I don´t know...   
      
   With the 800, only some wiring (no opening) is needed for a RGB (Scart)   
   Connection. With the VCS2600, if available, electronic soldering   
   (opening the case) would be inescapable as it don´t have any other   
   output than the VHF-out. With that (VHF) you cannot make RGB, in the   
   right way ;-).   
      
   It could be also possible that someone made a DIY RGB-Solution for the   
   mighty VCS2600, you have to find on the internet.....
