I was sitting at a Mac today, and I noticed how much nicer the Mac
screen looked than the Amiga screen (I've only seen the Amiga with the
1080 monitor).  In particular, the Amiga characters and icons look
fairly course (especially visible horizontal gaps between lines) and
the Mac characters and icons look nice and dense - much more "paper-like".

Traditionally, color screens aren't supposed to look as dense as black
and white screens, so that may be the difference.  On another hand,
the number of dots per inch has a lot to do with the perception of
whatever-fuzzy-characteristics-I'm-alluding-to.  The Mac has a much 
smaller screen than the Amiga, so a similar number of pixels total
translates to a larger number of dots per inch.

Has anyone tried using an Amiga with
	- a "small" (9"?) color monitor?
	- a black and white monitor, large or small?
	- a "very high quality" color monitor?
How does it look?  I'm particularly interested in text, window, and
icon appearance.  Perhaps someone has an Amiga and can borrow some
monitors and try them out?

I'd also like to reiterate the request for comparisons of the 1070,
1080, and other color monitors when used with the Amiga.  I'd really
like to hear from someone who has used all three.
