What are you guys who have similar old systems doing for a
display? Is there a device to convert the TV out from those
computers to D-Sub or dare to dream, DVI? What do you call
such a converter? Thanks.

For the Color Computer and Color Computer 2, there's even more to it
than that. Those computers did not provide a baseband composite video
output; they *only* had modulated RF out. You would have to either
modify them to add composite video output (not too hard), or use a
demodulator in addition to the composite-to-VGA adapter.
