An adapter is available that can be plugged into the S-video connector and accepts an RCA plug from a composite video monitor.

The 1999 PowerBook G3 Series computer provides composite video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 3-13 . Those picture resolutions produce underscanned displays on standard monitors.
