Curious if the display output I am seeing is normal (or at least normal for how I have it connected)
I have my IIc connected to a plasma TV for now (trying to find someone selling a monitor //c for a reasonable price!) and I am getting a lot of pink and green color banding
Is this the side effect of a 30 year old composite output on a modern television?
Yes that is normal for composite. You could acquire a VGA adapter for it, will be a lot better, but still won't get the quality of modern computers.

Yes, the banding is perfectly normal for an Apple II. The composite adapter that Koichi sells for the iie has switches that will change the banding. I don't know about the other ones.
Ideally I would like to just get a green phosphor monitor, like the //c original monitor, for nostalgia stake. But I appreciate all of the replies, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bad component in the video output circuit.
