The best video quality from a Commodfore is SVideo. I strongly recommend to use it, and you will see crisp picture without those well known decolorization.
Almost all modern TV sets have SVideo input on the side panel, or via Scart1 (if you have EU TV, but maybe it is not valid for you), but the second one you may have to change in the TV menu (as one pin is common with RGB signals, TVs by default prefer the better RGB signal).
According to my best knowledge, the C64 and Plus/4 AV-out have same pin layout.
I put below few links explaning that conversion (by the way the usually start with an available monitor cable).

You can also buy it (I think it is better if you buy a direct AV-->SVideo, looong cable):

if the plus/4 has the 8 pin A/V out, then you are there (the C128 and plus/4 developers were almsot the same, and I am not aware of any incompatibility on this part, although they tried to change everything else  )
