Commodore 128 16-Color, 80-Column RGBi to 15Khz RGB VGA Adapter:
$19.50

This adapter is used to connect the rear 9-pin RGBI port on the Commodore 128 to a 15-pin VGA cable which then connects to a 15-kHz-capable VGA monitor. This gives you 16-color output and 80-Columns (double the 40-columns of the VIC-II chip) of text using the VDC Chip inside the 128.This solution requires a VGA monitor that can sync to a 15-kHz signal. Normally, VGA uses a horizontal frequency of 31.5kHz. But, the Commodore 128 basically outputs a CGA signal which is a 15-kHz digital RGBI standard. It's this standard of the Commodore 128 that this solution is geared towards.
The good news is that there are both old and modern VGA monitors capable of displaying 15-kHz (Dell, Acer, Asus, BenQ, etc.). Before purchasing, be sure to visit this link for a list of monitors that can support 15-kHz:http://15khz.wikidot.com/ The screenshot above was taken from a 24" Acer B246HL ymdr which works perfectly.
