The Zenith ZCM-1490's are incredible-looking monitors... perfectly flat,
almost no glare, brilliant colors and very sharp.  But they aren't
multi-scanning; they're plain analog monitors.  Some people tell me to avoid
analog monitors because they aren't as flexible as multiscanning ones.

I'm buying a '386 PC clone (with an AT-compatible bus), and I know that I
want to put a VGA card in it.  Here's my question:  Can I find a VGA card
that'll give me good compatibility -- past and future -- and still let me
get the Zenith monitor?  Or should I go for a multiscan instead?

Thanks a lot, in advance...
