I don't want to buy a CRT for many reasons. So I am stuck with composite, VGA, and HDMI led monitors.

Is there any way to get high quality 80 columns from a C128 into those types of monitors?

What is the recommended way to get the best video quality from C128 into those monitors?

The composite output I am using now in 40 column mode is tolerable but far from great. There is a fair amount of color fringing. And then the HIRES is quite "jaggy" on diagonal lines. I expect to be using the new FORTH system that is known to be quite
fast, so I think HIRES will be a fun option if the quality is good.

I use the VICE emulator to emulate some of the Commodore 8bit family
computers on a modern Linux PC connected via HDMI, including the
C128. Just tested: The resolution doesn't changes. But looks like a C128.

Starting DOSBOX, there the resolution switches to 640x480 (the display
reports so). Suppose I could also tell VICE to run in 640x480...
