90's RCA XL100 "Remote"

That "PC" button on the remote.. Very interesting to see it actually say PC and not computer (since the only PC to really have composite output was the PC/PC-XT). Anything else generally had RGBI/RGB/VGA monitors.

That means "Previous Channel", you press that button to jump between two shows. Looks like whoever owned that remote liked trying to watch two things at once! There's definitely no way that TV would be a useful computer monitor

From the 90's up until ~2002 S-video outputs on graphics cards were fairly common, and there were some that used NTSC tvs as monitors....I've got such a rig with windows 7 set up.

The tv in question lacks even composite video, it's a real low end set. That model was also sold as a GE here in Canada, I remember the GE being a bit cheaper.
